GREATER VESSEL: From the Heart one vessel descends down to connect with the small intestine. A second branch ascends along the esophagus then crosses the face and cheek to connect with tissue surrounding the eye, while a third branch traverses the lungs to emerge from the axilla at HT-1 where it travels along the medial volar aspect of the arm and forearm to terminate at the radial corner of the fifth digit.

TENDINO MUSCULAR MERIDIAN: From HT-9 follows the Heart meridian to HT-1 (gathering points at HT-7, HT-3) and crosses widely across the chest to the midline and sends a small branch down to the umbilicus.
