  • • originates at the lateral side of the heel at Shenmài BL-62,

    • ascends along the lateral malleolus and the posterior border of the fibula,

    • ascends the lateral side of the thigh to the hip (Juliáo GB-29) and the postero-lateral costal region to the posterior axillary fold,

    • zig-zags across the top of the shoulder,

    • ascends across the neck to the corner of the mouth,

    • ascends the cheek and alongside the nose to the inner canthus and communicates with the Yin Motility vessel and the Bladder channel at Jingming BL-1,

    • continues upwards to the forehead then curves across the parietal region and descends to meet with Fēngchí GB-20 and enters the brain "at the occiput between the two tendons".

    Coalescent points: Shenmài BL-62, Púcăn BL-61, Fùyáng BL-59, Juliáo GB-29, Nãosh SI-10, Jianyú L.I.-15, Jùgü L.I.-16, Dicãng ST-4, Juliáo ST-3, Chéngqì ST-1, Jingming BL-1 and Fēngchí GB-20.

    Pathological symptoms of the Yang Motility vessel: Daytime epilepsy, eye diseases, loss of consciousness, aversion to wind, hemiplegia, chronic painful obstruction, rigidity of the body, lumbar pain, contracted sinews, flaccidity of the muscles of the medial leg and tightness of the muscles of the lateral leg.
