Abstract :

Objective: In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), there is some terminology and spaces that are not yet reported in Western medicine. For example Triple Energizer or San Jiao (TE (SJ)) in TCM are one of the main space which could explain most of the signs and symptoms of patients, signs and symptoms which have being related to mind body disorder in western Medicine. There is a hypothesis, which this space must be an actual space. By considering the embryologic and anatomical view, this report will try to open a door in the mind of reader which shows the presence of TE (SJ) in human body. Main Points: In embryologic developmental stages, and after gastrulation, there are three layers which are named ectoderm, mesoderm and endoderm. Mesoderm is the origin of many internal organs. It delaminates into two layer of somatic and splanchnic layer with an invisible space between them as coelom. One layer of them will be under the skin and other layer will cover the internal organs. This cavity or space could probably be the same as TE (SJ) and as a cavitary tissue or organ could be like a way for interconnection between internal organs and surface of body. In this case it could explain most mechanisms of acupuncture and traditional medicine. Conclusion: By tracing of the embryo from the first days of fertilization up to well developed stages, there is clear that there is an invisible space between visible anatomical organs which could be same one as TE (SJ). In other words, this is for the first time which coelom is presented as TE (SJ) in TCM.
