A complete response should include these concepts:
• The traditional meridian charts display thin superficial lines:
• Simplifies the channel map
• Shows the trajectory of the channel
• Shows the centerline of the meridians
• Shows the thickest, most conductive part of the channel
• Shows the lines where most traditional points are found
• The actual channels have greater width and depth:
• Channels extend from the superficial tissues down to the bone
• Channels spread out to meet each other
• Channels are more like bands
