The Interstitium and the Eight Extraordinary Vessels, as Taught by Wang Ju-Yi
The Interstitium and the Eight Extraordinary Vessels, as Taught by Wang Ju-Yi

To paraphrase the Tao de Jing; a bowl is useful because of the empty space. Recent anatomical research uncovered evidence for previously undescribed large-scale pathways that span organs, blood vessels and other connective tissue. These pathways are defined by what is known as the interstitial space between cells. The newer research provides evidence that these interstitial spaces actually make very large-scale networks between different types of tissue.
