    • Heart

    • Spleen

    • Liver

    • Lung

    Correct Answer
    A. Liver
    Explanation
    The liver is responsible for regulating the contraction and relaxation of tendons. Tendons are connective tissues that attach muscles to bones, and their contraction and relaxation are crucial for movement. The liver plays a role in maintaining the balance of various hormones and chemicals in the body, which helps regulate the function of tendons. While other organs like the heart, spleen, and lungs have important functions in the body, they are not directly involved in the regulation of tendon movement.

    The emotion of fear easily attacks and injurs which organ?

    • Heart

    • Kidney

    • Lungs

    • Spleen

    Correct Answer
    A. Kidney
    Explanation
    When a person experiences fear, the body's fight-or-flight response is triggered, which causes various physiological changes. One of these changes is the release of stress hormones like adrenaline, which can have a negative impact on the kidneys. Adrenaline causes blood vessels in the kidneys to constrict, reducing blood flow and potentially leading to kidney damage. Therefore, the correct answer is kidney.

    • Yuan qi

    • Zong qi

    • Ying qi

    • Wei qi

    Correct Answer
    A. Zong qi
    Explanation
    Zong qi is the correct answer because it refers to the qi stored in the chest, which has the specific function of promoting the function of the heart and lungs. Yuan qi refers to the original qi, ying qi refers to the nutritive qi, and wei qi refers to the defensive qi. Therefore, zong qi is the most appropriate term to describe the qi stored in the chest that promotes the function of the heart and lungs.

    Body fluids have the function of moistening. This is because body fluids, such as saliva, tears, and mucus, help to keep various parts of the body moist. For example, saliva moistens the mouth and aids in the digestion of food, tears moisten and lubricate the eyes, and mucus moistens and protects the respiratory tract. Moistening is essential for maintaining the proper functioning and health of these body parts.

    In a case of rebellious qi with nausea & vomitting, which organ will be suspect?

    • Spleen

    • GB

    • Liver

    • Stomach

    Correct Answer
    A. Stomach
    Explanation
    In Traditional Chinese Medicine, rebellious qi refers to the upward movement of qi in the body, causing symptoms like nausea and vomiting. The stomach is responsible for the downward movement of qi, so when there is rebellious qi with nausea and vomiting, the stomach is the organ that will be suspect. It is believed that the stomach's function of descending qi is disrupted, leading to the symptoms mentioned. The spleen, gallbladder, and liver do not have a primary role in the downward movement of qi, hence they are not the suspect organs in this case.

Kidney essence provides the foundation for bone health and growth. It is responsible for nourishing and replenishing the bones, promoting their strength and density. A deficiency in kidney essence can lead to weak and brittle bones. Therefore, maintaining a healthy kidney essence is essential for having strong bones.

    Explanation
    Wei qi is a concept in traditional Chinese medicine that refers to the body's protective energy or immune system. It is believed to circulate between the skin and muscles, acting as a defense mechanism against external pathogens. This explains why it is described as strong and fierce. The other options, such as inside the channels, inside the lungs, or stored in the kidneys, do not align with the understanding of wei qi in Chinese medicine.

    A pt. with shortness of breath, which becomes worse with exertion, will be expected to have a tongue that is:

    • Red

    • Purple

    • Yellow

    • Pale

    Correct Answer
    A. Pale
    Explanation
    Shortness of breath that worsens with exertion can be a sign of decreased oxygen levels in the body. When oxygen levels are low, the body compensates by constricting blood vessels, including those in the tongue, resulting in a pale appearance. This is because less blood is reaching the tongue, causing it to lose its normal color. Therefore, a pale tongue would be expected in a patient experiencing shortness of breath that worsens with exertion.

    • SP

    • HT

    • LV

    • LU

    Correct Answer
    A. HT
    Explanation
    The pulse on the first position of the left hand corresponds to the Heart (HT). In traditional Chinese medicine, pulse diagnosis is used to assess the overall health of the body and identify imbalances. Each position on the pulse corresponds to a different organ or system in the body. The pulse on the first position of the left hand is associated with the Heart, which is responsible for circulating blood and regulating emotions. By assessing the quality and characteristics of the pulse, practitioners can gain insights into the health of the Heart and potentially detect any imbalances or disorders.

    • Purple & swollen tongue

    • Malar flush

    • Poor memory

    • Tight pulse

    Correct Answer
    A. Poor memory
    Explanation
    Poor memory can be a symptom of blood deficiency. Blood deficiency refers to a condition where there is a lack of nourishment and circulation in the blood. This can result in inadequate supply of nutrients to the brain, leading to poor memory and difficulty in retaining information. Other symptoms of blood deficiency may include fatigue, dizziness, pale complexion, and brittle nails. However, the given options do not provide enough information to determine the presence of other symptoms, so poor memory is the most likely symptom in this case.

    Correct Answer
    A. Heat in the heart
    Explanation
    Redness on the tip of the tongue indicates heat in the heart. In traditional Chinese medicine, the tongue is considered a diagnostic tool for assessing the overall health of the body. The tip of the tongue corresponds to the heart meridian, and redness in this area suggests excess heat or inflammation in the heart. This could be due to various factors such as emotional stress, excessive physical activity, or an underlying imbalance in the body. Identifying this heat in the heart can help guide appropriate treatment and balance the body's energy.

    If the tongue is red with a scant coating, you would suspect this to be:

    • Toxic heat

    • Blood stagnation

    • Yin deficiency

    • Excess heat

    Correct Answer
    A. Yin deficiency
    Explanation
    A red tongue with a scant coating is indicative of yin deficiency. Yin represents the cooling and nourishing aspects of the body, and its deficiency can lead to symptoms such as dryness and heat. In this case, the red color of the tongue suggests heat, while the scant coating indicates a lack of moisture. This combination is consistent with yin deficiency, as there is insufficient yin to cool and moisten the body.

It indicates a strong and forceful pulse that bounces back quickly after pressure is applied.

    Explanation

    Inability to make quick decisions cn be due to:

    • SP qi

    • LV

    • GB

    • Shen

    Correct Answer
    A. GB
    Explanation
    The correct answer is GB, which stands for Gallbladder. The Gallbladder meridian is responsible for decision-making and judgment. When there is an imbalance or dysfunction in the Gallbladder meridian, it can lead to an inability to make quick decisions. This can manifest as indecisiveness, hesitancy, or a difficulty in weighing options and making choices promptly. Therefore, if someone is experiencing difficulty in making quick decisions, it could be attributed to an issue with their Gallbladder meridian.

    A pale complexion with lassitude, cold limbs, and a puffy tongue

    • Excess syndrome

    • Deficient blood

    • Deficient yang

    • Deficient qi

    Correct Answer
    A. Deficient yang
    Explanation
    The symptoms described in the question, including a pale complexion, lassitude, cold limbs, and a puffy tongue, are indicative of a deficiency in yang energy. Yang represents warmth, energy, and activity in the body. When yang is deficient, it leads to a lack of energy, poor circulation, and coldness in the body. This is in contrast to excess syndrome, which would involve symptoms of excessive energy or heat. Deficient blood and deficient qi could also cause similar symptoms, but the mention of cold limbs specifically points towards deficient yang as the most appropriate answer.

This symptom is often seen in the early stages of HIV infection and can be an indicator for further testing and diagnosis.
