The expression of contemporary biocybernetic approach to health, illness and acupuncture treatment should be defined mosphologically, physiologically, biochemically, psychologically, and sociologically.

From the morphological stand at view

a) the s.c. acupuncture "points" are three-dimensional spaces with main effective structures;

b) the active acupuncture areas are represented by greater accumulation of sensors in the place given. The definition of sensory name formations (structures, "endings"), their localization and classification (in 3 classes) are mentioned. They are very important for aimed starting of the non - nociceptive afferent excitation activity (from the area given), for provoking the "De-qui" -feeling and for achieving the optimal acupuncture therapeutical effects.
