Cyclical flowing and distribution

The lung meridian of hand-taiyin originates from themiddle energizer, running downward to connect with the large intestine. Winding back, it goes along the upper orifice of the stomach, passes through the diaphragm, and enters the lung, its pertaining organ. From the lung system, which refers to the portion of the lung communicating with the throat, it comes out transversely. Descending along the medial aspect of the upper arm, it goes continuously downward along the anterior border of the radial side in the medial aspect of the forearm and enters cunkou. Passing the thenar eminence, it goes along its radial border, ending at the medial side of the tip of the thumb.

The branch proximal to the wrist emerges and runs directly to the radial side of the tip of the index finger and ends at the medial side of the tip of the index finger where it links with the large intestine meridian. (see Fig. 5)

Associated viscera: Lung, large intestine, stomach and middle energizer. Associated organs: Trachea and throat.
