穴位是机体信息的“传感器”

Acupoint:the sensor of the information in the organic body

基于穴位的结构和功能,结合传感器的定义和原理,认为穴位是敏感元件,对针灸等物理刺激敏感,对病证反应敏感;穴位是传感元件,将穴位处信息的变化,经过复杂的网络传导、整合、调节,产生机体效应;穴位是转化元件,可将各种刺激转化为生物电或光信号,被机体识别。因此称穴位是机体信息的"传感器"。

Based on the structure and function of acupoint and in association of the definition and principle of sensor, the acupoint is the sensitive element, being sensitive to the physical stimulation with acupuncture and mox- ibustion and sensitively responded to the disorders; the acupoint is the sensing element, transforming the changes of the acupoint information via the complicated internet conduction, integration and regulation, so as to generate the effects on organic body~ the acupoint is the conversion element, transforming every irritation into the bioelec- tric signal or optical signal so that the organic body could recognize it. Therefore, the acupoint is regarded as the sensor of information in the organic body.
