| What do the channel sinews protect? | The bones |
| What are the pathologies of the chanel sinews? | Primary manifestation is PAIN, |
| What type of point is commonly used to treat channel sinews? | A shi points |
| How many channel divergences are there? | 12 |
| What are the channel divergences? | branches of the 12 regular channels |
| Where are the channel divergences located? | Inside of the body |
| Do divergent channels have points? | No |
| Why are they called divergent channels? | They diverge from the regular pathways |
| What are the two main functions of the channel divergences? | Strengthen the connection between Yin Yang primary organs and channels, and Contain wei qi and act as a 2nd line of defense. |

| Separation of the Channel Divergences | They separate from the regular channel on the limbs near the knees/elbows...lower access point |
| Enter (Channel Divergence) | They enter the chest and abdomen, where the yin yang divergent pairs travel together to the organs |
| Emerge (channel divergence) | They emerge from the body cavity at the head/neck |
| Merge (channel divergences) | They merge with the regular yang channel of the pair...upper access point (head/neck) |
