The Yin (Zang) and Yang (Fu) organ systems of TCM physiology.
Overview
The five Zang (Heart, Liver, Spleen, Lung, Kidney) store vital substances; the six Fu (Stomach, Small Intestine, Large Intestine, Gallbladder, Bladder, San Jiao) transform and transport. TCM organs are functional systems, broader than their anatomical namesakes.
Key Points
- Zang store, Fu transform/transport
- Functional systems, not just anatomy
- Each Zang paired with a Fu
Clinical Significance
Pattern differentiation is largely organized around Zang-Fu function and disharmony.
