Abstract
The meridian system exhibits special electrical properties (current conduction, wave propagation and preferential direction) and is the fundamental network for communicating biological matter, energy and information. It is particularly important to the embryo during early stages of development. The meridian system integrates the cells prior to the appearance of developed systems such as the circulation and nervous systems. Because the meridian system keeps its primitive properties and is not a pipe-like structure, it is the most "tunable" network in a living organism and can be used in diagnosis and treatment in traditional Chinese medicine and the electrodermal screening test.
