《内经》经筋的实质是神经

The essence of the aponeurotic in Huangdi’s Internal Classic is nerves

通过解剖、定位、症状、临床及五行理论的对比分析,否定了后人对经筋的错误认识,论证了《内经》经筋的实质是以周围神经的躯体神经为主,含少部分中枢神经及植物神经功能。这一概念的澄清与回归,无论是对中医的继承、发展及中西医结合,还是科研、临床都有重要意义。

By comparison and analysis of anatomy, location, symptoms, clinic and theory of five elements, the article negates the later generations＇ wrong knowledge about the aponeurotic system. It also demonstrates that the essence of the aponeurotic system in the Huangdi ＇ s Internal Classic is mainly the somatic nerve of the peripheral nerves, with a less functions of the central nerve and vegetative nerve. The clarifying and turning back of this con- cept is of very important significance for inheritance and development of TCM, and integrated Chinese medicine and western medicine, and scientific research and clinic of TCM.
