[Preliminary study on the essence of the aponeurotic channel]

Aponeurotic channel is a major component of the channel and collateral system, but at the present its essence are studied less, which restrained seriously clinical application of the aponeurotic channel. Therefore, deeper study of the essence of the aponeurotic channel is very necessary. So far, there are mainly two kinds of the explanation for the essence of the aponeurotic channel, one holds that the aponeurotic channel is a musculature system affiliated to the twelve channels, and another explanation believes that the aponeurotic channel is the nervous system. The authors hold that the two explanations have their reasonability, but they are too absolute.
