| | 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. |

| | The lung, situated in the thorax, has its channel connecting with the large intestine and it is therefore externally-internally related to the large intestine. | | | As the function of the lung greatly influences the functional activities of the whole body, the lung is said to dominate the qi (vital functions) of the entire body. | | | Dysfunction of the lung in dispersing may lead to tightness of the chest, nasal obstruction, cough and expectoration. |

| | It is by the dispersing function of the lung that defensive qi and body fluid are distributed to the whole body to warm and moisten the muscles, skin and hair. | | | Dominating the qi of respiration means that the lung is a respiratory organ through which the qi from the exterior and the qi from the interior are able to mingle. | | | Since the lung is the uppermost zang organ, its qi descends to promote the circulation of qi and body fluid through the body and to conduct them downwards. |

| | 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. |

| | For example, dysfunction of the Lung will weaken respiration, leading to failure of fresh air to be inhaled and the turbid Qi of the body to be exhaled, with the resultant inadequate formation of Qi. | | | Fresh air is inhaled by the Lung after birth and is the main source of Qi of the human body. | | | Once this harmony is destroyed, disharmony of the activities of Qi will ensue, which mainly consists of five states: adverse upward flow of Qi, collapse of Qi, escape of Qi and obstruction of Qi in its outward passage. |
