Question 3

It is formed by the combination of clean air inhaled by the Lungs and food essence refined by the Spleen; it accumulates in the chest to promote respiration and circulate blood. It is derived from congenital essence, stored in the Kidneys, and distributed via the Sanjiao to warm the organs and stimulate growth. It is the refined portion of food essence that circulates inside the blood vessels to nourish the Zang-Fu organs and tissues. It is the vaporized essence that flows outside the blood vessels to warm the skin, control the opening/closing of pores, and defend against pathogens.

Question 4

The Liver's function of 'storing blood' (肝藏血) is critical for regulating blood volume. Which physiological mechanism best explains this regulation during activity and rest?

During activity, Liver blood is mobilized to the meridians and muscles; during rest, excess blood flows back to the Liver to replenish its storage. The Liver continuously generates blood from food essence to keep the vessels full during intense activity. The Liver's Yang qi actively pushes blood through the vessels during rest, preventing stasis. The Spleen controls the blood inside the vessels, while the Liver only stores blood to prevent bleeding.

During activity, Liver blood is mobilized to the meridians and muscles; during rest, excess blood flows back to the Liver to replenish its storage.
