QUESTIONS
The IVAS convention for human point codes puts BL36 in the centre of the buttock crease, below the tuber ischii; BL40 (WeiChung, WeiZhong, old BL54) in the centre of the popliteal crease and BL41 as the lateral paired point of BL12.
1. One of the following statements is not correct. Indicate the incorrect statement:
a. Oswald Kothbauer (Austria), documented the reflex (Shu) points in cattle
b. He injected irritants into specific organs (cervix, ovary, uterus, kidney etc) and found provoked reflex changes in the paravertebral area, using an electrical "Pain Point Detector"
c. The "Pain Point Detector" detected points of high electrical resistance (low conductivity). Low conductance corresponded with reactivity to pressure-probing.
d. The reactive points could also be found by searching with a blunt scissors or other probe.
e. When the reflex points were located by the probe (electrical or mechanical), the cow reacted by kicking or trying to escape or vocalising etc, due to increased reactivity to palpation or to pain stimuli applied at the reflex point.
2. One of the following statements is not correct. Indicate the incorrect statement:
a. HuaToJiaJi points, (X 35 in the computer lists), are not on the Channel system of humans. They lie over the wing of each vertebra, near the junction with the body of the vertebra, between the medial line of the BL Channel and the GV Channel in the area C1-S5, one pair (left and right) for each vertebra.
b. HuaToJiaJi points are most important points, named after Hua-To, a great doctor in ancient China. They are used mainly as LOCAL points, influencing LOCAL problems and also influencing organs or organ functions nearby.
c. In neck problems, one might use X 35 points at C1 and C7 vertebrae, with TPs and SI03 with BL62 or ST38 or GB39.
d. In nephritis, one might include X 35 points in the area T1-T4. In fatty liver (hepatic degeneration after calving): include X 35 in area L4-S2
e. In point selection of AP points for therapy, always consider reactive points, wherever they are
3. One of the following statements is not correct. Indicate the incorrect statement:
a. In cattle, the BL Channel has THREE LINES on the thoraco-lumbar area
b. BL13 lies 2 fingers from the GV line just above the postero-superior angle of the scapular cartilage, level with the posterior edge of the spine of T5.
c. BL21 lies behind the last rib, in front of the transverse wing of vertebra L1. BL17 lies midway between BL13 and BL21. It can be used to locate any point between BL13-21 by counting the required number of spaces forwards or backwards from BL17.
d. BL26 lies between the transverse wings of vertebrae L5-L6, 3-4 fingers ant. to the ant. edge of the wing of the ilium.
e. BL27,28,29,30 lie LATERAL to the 4 sacral foramina respectively
f. Between BL14-30, the medial BL line runs about 1 hand (4 fingers) from the GV line (dorsal midline).
4. One of the following statements is not correct. Indicate the incorrect statement:
a. One of the amazing similarities between Traditional Chinese Vet Medicine (TCVM) in cattle and pigs and the human Transposition System is the identical locations of the TCVM Shu points and the human Shu points.
b. Many points of the human BL Channel (paravertebral Channel) do not appear on the TCVM charts
c. It seems certain that stimulation of the animal in regions corresponding to the (missing) points would have similar effects to those in humans, because of similarity of spinal innervation.
d. In practice this may not matter much, as it is well known that each organ in the thorax and abdomen is innervated by branches from 3-5 spinal nerves.
e. One would expect some overlap in the locations of Shu points and many possible Shu points for each organ, both longitudinally as well as laterally.
5. Important points relating to reproductive function and genitalia are in the lumbo-sacral area. One of the following statements is not correct. Indicate the incorrect statement:
a. ovary/testis points include BL22,23,51,52; GV04,05, especially BL23
b. tubes/uterus horn points include BL24,25
c. uterus points include BL26,26.1,27,28,31,32; GV03
d. cervix/vagina/penis points include GV02,03; BL29,30,31,33,34
e. ovary/testis has no relationship to GB25
6. One of the following statements is not correct. Indicate the incorrect statement:
a. BL44 is the lateral paired point of (=) BL15
b. BL49 = BL20
c. BL52 = BL23
d. BL53 = BL27
e. BL54 = BL30
7. This question refers to traditional veterinary AP points. One of the following statements is not correct. Indicate the incorrect statement:
a. Animal Yin Ti is in the clitoris; its functions are similar to those of human CV01 and CV02.
b. Animal Shen Shu (KI Shu) is 2.5 tsun lateral to Bai Hui; some of its functions are similar to those of human BL23.
c. Animal Tian Ping is on the GV line in the thoracolumbar space; is functions are similar to human GV05
d. Animal San Tai is on the GV line between the spines of T3-T4; is functions are similar to human GV12 and BL13
e. Animal Ye Yan (Night Eye, = equine chestnut) is on the medial side of the forearm, at the midpoint of radius; its functions are similar ro those of PC04 and 05
f. As in humans, animal Xiao Chang Shu (SI Shu) is 2 vertebral spaces anterior to DaChangShu (LI Shu).
8. This question refers to traditional veterinary AP points. One of the following statements is not correct. Indicate the incorrect statement:
a. Animal Bai Hui is in the lumbosacral space; its functions are similar to ShihChiChuiHsi, a New point in humans and human GV03
b. Animal San Yang Luo is on the medial edge of forearm, about 1/3 of the distance between the carpus and olecranon; its functions are very different from those of human TH08
c. Animal Yu Tang is on the dental pad, at openings of nasopalatine ducts; its functions are similar to human GV26,27,28
d. Animal Wei Ken is on the GV line, in the sacrococcygeal space; its functions are similar to those of human GV02
e. Animal Yung Chi is between the transverse processes of L5-L6; its functions (especially on the uterus and reproductive system) are similar to those of human BL26
f. Animal Yao Pang 1 is below the tip of transverse process of L1; its functions (especially on the ovary and reproductive system) are similar to those of human BL22.
