32.
LI sinew channel is useful for which types of headaches?: Temporal as well as frontal headache
33.
LI Sinew channel Starts from: Index finger (LI 1)
34.
Organ Disorders for Large Intestine: Large Intestine
Lung
Stomach
35.
Pathology of LI sinew channel: 1) Spasm, pain, pulling sensation and stiffness along sinew channel
2) Impaired movement of the arm, shoulder, stiffness, frozen shoulder
3) Neck pain and stiffness, *restricted rotation of neck*
36.

-Arthritis and tendinitis of the elbow and shoulder.
39.
Qi of the LI sinew channel accumulates additionally where?: At the CHEEK, side of face and MANDIBLE
40.
SI Luo channel distribution: Follows the main channel to LI 15, then to the angle of the mandible where it bifurcates.
1) One branch enters the teeth
2) Another branch enters the ear, communicating with all the channels that go to the ear
41.
The LI divergent channel: fRom LI 15 area: There are 3 branches
1) Goes posteriorly, connecting with the spinal column at the area of C7
2) Goes anteriorly and distributes in the chest and breasts.
3) Goes to the supraclavicular fossa, where it enters the body cavity and connects with the lung and large intestines.
It then travels upward and emerges at the supraclavicular fossa, passes through the throat and converges with the LI primary at LI 18 area.
42.
What is a unique function of the large intestine channel?: Clears heat from the blood and channels.--The yang ming channels have abundant qi and blood. Fever and heat are considered the result of excessive qi and blood in the yang ming channels. This excess gives rise to s/sx dry mouth, excessive perspiration, yellow urination, constipation and skin disorders such as pimples, rashes, boils and carbuncles.
43.
Which two LI channels end on the contralateral side of the body from which they began?: LI Sinew and Primary
