Functions of the Small Intestine |
|||
The Small Intestine receives grains
and water that have been decomposted by Stomach and
Spleen, and divides pure from impure. The Small Intestine
transforms the food further and absorbs nutrients for the body. The clear aspects are
passed on to the Spleen and sent to the Lungs. The
impure and turbid parts are passed on by the Small Intestine. Waste is passed on to
the Large Intestine and waste fluids are passed
on to the Bladder. The Small Intestine relies on
the Kidney Yang to fulfill its function. |
