Stomach Channel

1/46

Which of the following best describes the "tibial branch" of the Stomach channel?

Separates at the knee and wraps around the external genitalia
Separates at ST-36 and connects to the lateral aspect of the third toe
Separates at ST-40 and ascends to the neck and throat
Separates at the midpoint of the tibia and binds at the ankle

The Stomach channel has an extra branch that goes from ST-36 to the middle toe. No other channel goes there.
