The map is not a single poster. It is the figure you rotate, the region you choose and the channel you switch on.
By region
Back for the bladder meridian and the shu points. Hand for LI4 and the jing points of the arm. Foot for LR3, KI1 and the ends of several channels. Abdomen for the hara, the mu points and ST25. Each region opens the 3D body already framed.
By channel
If the question is “where does it run”, open the meridian sheet, not a loose list of points. The index has the twelve, Ren, Du and the Japanese layers.
Which layer is on
The TCM map, the Masunaga extension and the Namikoshi overlay are not drawn together by default. Read the system name before you copy the pathway into the notebook.

Questions
- Is there a map to print?
- The atlas is the figure in the browser. Each region and each channel has its own URL to cite in notes or on a school website.
- Does it include the extraordinary meridians?
- Ren and Du are in the index with their points. The other extraordinary vessels are studied as a family, not as a thirteenth pathway on this list.
