ACUPOINT RENZHONG (JENCHUNG GV-26) IN THE HORSE. ANATOMICAL AND HISTOLOGICAL STUDY
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to document the anatomic and histologic characteristics of acupoint Renzhong GV-26 in ten Spanish horses. First, the electrical skin resistance was measured to locate the acupoint, and the needles were inserted to a depth of 1cm into the acupoint. Then, the tissue surrounding the acupoint was removed, sectioned serially, and processed by routine histologic techniques. The results show that the acupoint Renzhong GV-26 is situated in the intermediate area of the upper lip, represented by several structures of dense connective tissue, skeletal muscle tissue, nerve fibers and vascular structures. Therefore, numerous structures conform part of the acupoint Renzhong GV-26 in the horse.Downloads
