Histological structure of the human biologically active point (BAP) ST36

Biologically active point (BAP) ST36 is one of the most important and most commonly used points in the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). A correlation between the location of acupuncture points and channels in humans and animals has been established. In the human ST36 is located on the stomach meridian - 3 cun (1 handbreadth) down and 1 fingerbreadth lateral to the anterior crest of the tibia, on the tibialis anterior muscle. The target of this study is to describe the histological structure of biologically active point (BAP) ST36 in the human by using the classic histological techniques. We observed normal histology structures in ST36 point in the human.
