exists between Meridians and
peripheral
nerve
pathways.
Meridians
possess
bioelectric
functions similar to peripheral
nerves and they follow along
peripheral nerves. For example, the
Lung
Meridian
follows
musculocutaneous nerve and the
Pericardium Meridian follows the
median nerve. A study was done to
evaluate the location of Meridians in
which researchers injected radio-
isotopes in one acupuncture point
and
visualized
it
gradually
accumulate at another acupuncture
point on the same Meridian. Radio
signals on one acupuncture point
can be picked up at another
acupuncture point on the same
Meridian.
Reichmanis
et

demonstrated
that
Meridians
conduct current with flow toward
the central nervous system.
Acupuncture can be stimulated by
various means and the most
common in small animal practice
include acupressure, dry needle,
