Chapter 181: Meridians Don't Exist?

In the anatomy classroom, the students sat around the corpse and listened carefully to the professor's explanation. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After this period of study, Li Wenyuan has a different understanding of the human body than before, and only talks about the phenomenon of "heart and blood" in traditional Chinese medicine, but does not give a specific explanation.

Now, after learning systematic anatomy, Li Wenyuan has a more intuitive understanding of this.

It turns out that in the human body, there is also systemic circulation and pulmonary circulation.

Blood ejects from the left ventricle into the systemic circulation, and after about 15 seconds, returns to the right atrium, and then enters the pulmonary circulation through the right ventricle, where the red blood cells in the blood combine with oxygen, leave the pulmonary circulation, enter the left atrium, and then pump again through the left ventricle into the systemic circulation.

"No wonder Western medicine is called science, while Chinese medicine can only be called traditional medicine, it turns out that Western medicine has conducted such a detailed study of the human body, not only knowing the results, but also understanding the whole process!" Li Wenyuan thought in his heart, and with the deepening of his understanding of Western medicine, he discovered more and more criticisms in traditional Chinese medicine.

"Look here, students!"

The corpse's chest cavity was exposed, and the anatomy professor put a finger into the heart and said, "Now, what I hook with my hand is the aorta, and during systole, through the squeezing of the left ventricle, the blood passes through the aortic valve and enters the systemic circulation!" ”

Changing the position of his finger again, the professor said, "What I am referring to now is the inferior vena cava, where the blood flows through the body for a week, and then back to the heart!" ”

The smell of formalin was unusually strong, the mask only protected the nose, not the eyes, and only tears flowed from the smoke.

Even so, the students were still unwilling to miss this learning opportunity, so they gathered very close and listened carefully to the professor's explanation.

"On top of the heart, there are a lot of blood vessels." "The corpse is a little dry, and the blood vessels in the heart are not very clear. This root, you can see for yourself in a while, the one I am referring to now is the anterior descending artery of the heart, one of the vegetative vessels of the heart, if a thrombus occurs here, it will cause myocardial infarction! ”

Myocardial infarction, in traditional Chinese medicine, belongs to the category of "true heartache" and "syncope heartache", according to the explanation of traditional Chinese medicine, the pathogenesis is mainly yin deficiency and heat burns the lungs yin into phlegm or yang deficiency and water and qi do not dissolve, and the mortality rate is very high.

Now, after listening to the professor's explanation, Li Wenyuan suddenly feels that the explanation of Western medicine is more credible.

"Heartache, the mortality rate of this disease is very high, if I encounter it, I can only use aura to open up the blocked blood veins and save the patient's life." Li Wenyuan thought about it and kept the problems he encountered this time firmly in his heart, he was not the kind of person who was preconceived and self-contained, and he was able to accept new points of view.

This is also the quality that a doctor should have, the words of the ancestors are not necessarily right, the right ones should be accepted, and the wrong ones should be discarded.

But many times, it's harder to abandon than to accept.

"I just talked about the pumping of blood in the heart and the blood vessels of the heart, and those who are not studying medicine also know that when measuring blood pressure, the high one is called high pressure, and the low one is called low pressure! However, as medical students, we should learn to use professional terms, and we should call high pressure and low pressure 'systolic blood pressure' and 'diastolic blood pressure' respectively! The professor asked, "Does anyone know how systolic and diastolic blood pressure are formed?" ”

Medicine has medical-specific terminology that makes it easier for doctors to communicate with each other.

"Professor, I know!"

Immediately, a male student who had done a preview in advance replied: "Systolic blood pressure is the pressure generated by blood on the blood vessel wall when the heart pumps blood, and diastolic blood pressure is the blood pressure measured when the heart is diastolic!" ”

"Well, this male classmate answered very well!" The professor praised and continued, "This corpse has been sitting outside for a bit of a long time, and the nerves innervating the heart are no longer visible, if it is a new corpse, when the pericardium is just opened, it should be able to see the sympathetic nerve and vagus nerve!"

"The sympathetic nerve and the vagus nerve are two nerves that innervate the heart and are antagonistic to each other. The role of the sympathetic nerve is positive, changing time, force, and conduction, while the vagus nerve is the opposite of the sympathetic nerve, which is negative time, force, and conduction! ”

As the name suggests, positive time, force and conduction have a promoting effect on the heart rate, contractility and conduction, resulting in an increase in heart rate and blood pressure.

Vice versa.

"Teacher, can you point us to the meridians on our heart?" At this time, a classmate asked.

The meridians, to be precise, should be called "meridians", are the channels through which the body runs blood and qi, connects the internal organs and limbs, and communicates the upper and lower internal and external channels, and is the theoretical basis for acupuncture, massage, qigong, etc.

"Meridians, this ...... In anatomy, no evidence of existence has been found. The professor said.

"What? Are there no meridians in the human body? ”

"Won't you, teacher? Could it be that Chinese medicine is a lie? Recently, there has just been a wave of Chinese medicine fever, and everyone believes in Chinese medicine! ”

While the students were discussing, their eyes invariably focused on Li Wenyuan.

The recent wave of Chinese medicine fever is entirely due to the listing of three health care products of Yunhe Pharmaceutical Group, especially after the broadcast of the advertisement, everyone's recognition of traditional Chinese medicine has reached a new peak.

And the key person who set off this wave of Chinese medicine fever is undoubtedly Li Wenyuan, the provider of three health care prescriptions.

Seeing that all his classmates were looking at him, Li Wenyuan had an embarrassing feeling, although he was an expert in traditional Chinese medicine, but since he came to Kyoto Medical University to study, then his identity at this time was a student, not all kinds of fame!

"There is a big difference between Chinese medicine and Western medicine, Dr. Li, you are an expert in Chinese medicine, can you please explain the problem of meridians to the students?" The professor was not deliberately embarrassed by Li Wenyuan, he also wanted to know why the meridians could not be confirmed to exist in the anatomy.

"This ...... Traditional Chinese medicine does not pay much attention to the study of the internal structure of the human body, and I cannot give a very intuitive explanation. But ......," Li Wenyuan paused and said, "However, according to the meridian theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the meridians follow the deep part and are the running channels of qi and blood, while the qi and blood that Chinese medicine talks about are actually more about qi!" ”

Seeing that everyone, including the professor, was very interested in this, Li Wenyuan explained in detail: "And this is another theory of Chinese medicine, the theory of vitality. In the human body, there are two kinds of qi, Yuan Yin and Yuan Yang, which run in the meridians and reach the limbs and hundreds of remains, but only when the person is alive, there is qi in the human body, and when the person dies, the qi is dispersed, and after the person dies, there is no qi in the body. ”

He has been studying Western medicine for a few months, and Li Wenyuan knows that Western medicine is scientific and needs to be proved with evidence, so when he explained to his classmates, he was worried that the students would not be able to accept it, because qi cannot be seen and touched, and the existence of qi cannot be proven, and the existence of meridians cannot be found in the structure of the human body, which is equivalent to a false proposition!

"Yuan Yin and Yuan Yang? Wow, that's amazing! ”

"Classmate Wen Yuan, then in this way, if I get through the second vein of Ren Du, I will be able to release the Turtle Sect Qigong?"

The students have a rich imagination, and the small universe ignites at a moment's notice.

"Huh. I'm afraid this won't work. Li Wenyuan smiled, there was aura in his body, and he could do it, but ordinary people couldn't.

The anatomy professor, who had studied the anatomy of the human body all his life, was noncommittal about this statement, so he avoided it and got down to business and continued to lecture.

Li Wenyuan benefited a lot from this anatomy class.

After class, I went to the library with Su Xue and plunged into the world of human anatomy.

The sun shone in and shone on Su Xue's face.

Su Xue's side face was very beautiful, but because he was too focused, Li Wenyuan didn't notice it.

"Meridians...... How do you prove the existence of meridians? In Li Wenyuan's heart, there was a question left.
