    Correct Answer
    A. Spleen deficiency
    Explanation
    Very large upper thighs, out of proportion with the rest of the body, indicate spleen deficiency. The spleen is responsible for transforming and transporting nutrients in the body. When the spleen is deficient, it is unable to perform its functions effectively, leading to poor digestion and metabolism. This can result in the accumulation of excess fat in certain areas, such as the upper thighs.

    The state of the hair is related to the condition of _______ or __________.

    • Blood

    • Kidney-Yang

    • Marrow

    • Kidney-Essence

    • Lung-Qi

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Blood
    A. Kidney-Essence
    Explanation
    The state of the hair is related to the condition of blood and kidney essence. Blood provides nourishment to the hair follicles, ensuring healthy hair growth. Kidney essence, also known as Jing, is believed to be responsible for the vitality and strength of the hair. A deficiency in either blood or kidney essence can lead to hair problems such as hair loss, thinning, or premature graying. Therefore, maintaining the health of both blood and kidney essence is crucial for maintaining the condition of the hair.

    • Deficient Yang

    • Blood Deficiency

    Correct Answer
    A. Blood Deficiency
    Explanation
    Falling hair may indicate a condition of blood deficiency. Blood deficiency refers to a lack of nourishment and circulation of blood in the body. This can lead to various symptoms, including hair loss. When there is insufficient blood supply to the hair follicles, it can result in weakened hair roots and subsequent hair fall. Therefore, blood deficiency can be a possible explanation for falling hair.

    Prematurely greying hair indicates a decline of ___________.

    • Kidney-Essence

    • Kidney-Qi

    • Blood

    Correct Answer
    A. Kidney-Essence
    Explanation
    Prematurely greying hair is believed to be associated with a decline in Kidney-Essence. In traditional Chinese medicine, Kidney-Essence is considered to be the foundation of all bodily functions and is responsible for nourishing the hair. When Kidney-Essence declines, it is believed to affect the hair's ability to maintain its natural color, leading to premature greying. Kidney-Qi and Blood are also important factors in overall health, but they are not specifically linked to hair color in the same way as Kidney-Essence.

This can be caused by various factors such as poor diet, chronic illness, or excessive bleeding.

    A bright orange-yellow complexion is indicative of Damp-Heat in traditional Chinese medicine. The term "prevalence of Heat rather than Dampness" suggests that the person's condition is primarily characterized by an excess of Heat, with Dampness playing a secondary role. This means that the person may experience symptoms such as inflammation, fever, excessive sweating, and a feeling of heat in the body, which are more prominent than symptoms related to Dampness, such as fluid retention or a heavy sensation.

    A. Heat in Stomach and Spleen
    Explanation
    A withered, dried-up yellow complexion indicates heat in the stomach and spleen. This can be caused by excessive heat in these organs, leading to dryness and dehydration of the skin.

    Dark-bluish under eyes

    • Cold in Liver channel

    • Cold in Spleen/Stomach channel

    • Cold in Kidney channel

    Correct Answer
    A. Cold in Liver channel
    Explanation
    Dark-bluish under eyes can be a sign of poor circulation or stagnation of blood in the liver channel. The liver channel is responsible for the smooth flow of Qi and blood throughout the body. When there is cold in the liver channel, it can cause the blood to stagnate, leading to the appearance of dark-bluish under eyes. Cold in the spleen/stomach or kidney channel may cause other symptoms, but they are not specifically associated with dark-bluish under eyes. Therefore, the correct answer is cold in the liver channel.

    The given answer, "Cold, chronic pain," suggests that the symptom being described is characterized by a persistent, long-lasting pain that is accompanied by a sensation of coldness. This implies that the pain is not acute or sudden but rather a chronic condition. The mention of "Cold" indicates that the pain is associated with a cold sensation, which could be indicative of poor circulation or a lack of blood flow to the affected area. Overall, the answer suggests that the symptom being described is a persistent, cold pain that is likely chronic in nature.

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Chronic pain
    A. Heart-Yang deficiency w/Blood Stasis
    Explanation
    The correct answer is chronic pain and Heart-Yang deficiency w/Blood Stasis. Chronic pain can be a result of Heart-Yang deficiency, which refers to a lack of warmth and energy in the heart. This deficiency can lead to blood stasis, which is a condition where the blood does not flow smoothly in the body. Therefore, chronic pain can be a symptom of both Heart-Yang deficiency and Blood Stasis.

In the context of blue complexion in children, Liver Wind may indicate a disruption in the flow of Liver energy, leading to poor blood circulation and oxygenation, resulting in a bluish discoloration of the skin.

    Correct Answer
    A. Bluish
    Explanation
    The color bluish in the center of the forehead indicates that the heart has suffered from a shock. This could be due to a sudden emotional or physical trauma that has affected the heart.

    The statement suggests that a greenish nose can be attributed to either Liver Qi or Blood stasis. This implies that there may be an imbalance or dysfunction in the liver or a stagnation of blood flow in the body. Therefore, the statement is true as it indicates that a greenish nose can be a manifestation of these conditions.

    • Spleen

    • Liver

    Correct Answer
    A. Spleen
    Explanation
    The red tip of the nose is commonly associated with spleen deficiency. In traditional Chinese medicine, the spleen is responsible for transforming and transporting food and fluids, as well as regulating blood circulation. When the spleen is deficient, it can lead to poor digestion and absorption of nutrients, which can manifest as symptoms such as a red tip of the nose. This symptom is often seen in conditions like spleen qi deficiency or spleen yang deficiency. Therefore, the spleen is the most likely explanation for the red tip of the nose in this case.

Wind-Heat or rising of Liver-Fire can cause these symptoms, as both conditions involve an increase in heat and inflammation in the body. The wind element refers to the rapid onset of symptoms, while the liver-fire element refers to the underlying cause of the inflammation. Therefore, Wind-Heat or rising of Liver-Fire is the most likely explanation for the given symptoms.

    • Cold

    • Blood Deficiency

    • Heat

    Correct Answer
    A. Heat
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Heat" because dull white corners of the eyes can be a symptom of excess heat in the body. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, this is often associated with conditions such as inflammation, infection, or excessive internal heat.
