Originates on the thumb at Shaoshang LU-11 and ascends to bind at the thenar eminence,

Ascends the flexor aspect of the forearm to bind at the centre of the elbow

Continues along the antero-lateral aspect of the upper arm to enter the chest below the axilla

Emerges in the region of Quepen ST-12 and travels laterally to the shoulder, anterior to L.I.-15
