[Core structure of acupoint: interactive network of immune, blood vessel and nerve]
Abstract:
The studying on interrelation and interaction among blood-vessel network, nerve network and immune network is considered to be the key to reveal the mechanism of acupuncture treatment and the essence of meridians. A strip-like compound structure of mast cells, blood vessel and nerve network is observed in acupoint area. From its systematics nature and correlation with acupuncture effect and meridian phenomena, it is believed that the structure of mast cells, blood vessel and nerve network is an interactive system with interrelation and interaction among each other, and is an essential site and pivot to produce and transport matter, energy and information, and is the core structure of acupoint.
