| | zang-fu |
 | | (Each zang organ opens into a sense organ which indicates a close structural or physiological and pathological relationship between the internal organs and the sense organs.) The main physiological functions of the heart are controlling blood and vessels and housing the mind. | | | A tenet of traditional Chinese medicine, therefore, is that mental activity is dominated by various organs, the heart being the main one. | | | The channel of the heart, located in the thorax, leads to the small intestine, and heart is thus externally and internally related to the small intestine. |

| | Meridians & Collaterals |
| | The zang organs (the lung, heart and pericardium) that are situated in the chest are connected with the yin meridians of the hand, while those (the spleen, liver and kidney) in the abdomen are linked with the yin meridians of the foot. | | | In accordance with the fact that the zang organs pertain to yin, the fu organs to yang, and the medial aspect is attributed to yin, the lateral aspect, to yang, the meridians that pertain to the zang organs are yin meridians, which are mainly distributed on the medial aspect of the four limbs. | | | The meridians and collaterals are pathways in which the qi and blood of the human body are circulated. |

| | Application of the Five Elements Theory - Basics of Traditional Chinese Medicine @ Traditional Chinese Medicine Basics ... |
| | The Five Elements theory is applied to the physiology and pathology of the human body by using the relationships of generation and subjugation to guide clinical diagnosis and treatment. | | | Therefore, clinical treatment should not only concentrate on the diseased zang organ, but also be concerned with readjusting the relationships between the particular zang or fu organs in accordance with Five Elements theory. | | | Therefore, in the clinical diagnosis of a disease, the data collected by the four diagnostic methods (inspection, auscultation and olfaction, inquiring, and palpation) should be analyzed according to the properties and changing laws of mutual generation and subjugation, extreme subjugation, and counter subjugation of the Five Elements theory. |
