This pathway leads from the tip of the big toe along its medial side across the internal ankle, along the tibia, across the knee, thigh, and groin to penetrate into the abdomen and link with the spleen. The right branch corresponds to the pancreas and the left to the spleen. It then continues via a connecting line to the stomach, crosses the diaphragm to the oesophagus and joins the root of the tongue, dissipating below it. A branch separates from the stomach, leads across the diaphragm and flows into the heart.
