MERIDIAN ANATOMY OF PERICARDIUM:

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

DIVERGENT CHANNEL (DISTINCT MERIDIAN): PC-1, SI-10 to BL-1 passing via the Heart and throat

LONGITUDINAL LUO CHANNEL: From Tongli PC-5 connects with the Small Intestine meridian and follows the Heart Meridian to the Heart zang then
continues to the root of the tongue and the eye.
