Abstract :
The tests of meridians and acupoints have been studied for rabbits, goats, pigs and other animals by domestic and foreign meridian researchers. This paper describes a series of experiments in toads to study meridian phenomenon in vivo. The method based on electrical network theories using a high amplitude pulse tests dynamically the voltage signal transmission characteristics of different ports in the forelimbs of toads by three-dimensional scanning. We have preliminarily tracked out three “meridian channels” in the forelimb according to tracks of maximum transmission coefficient.
