Anatomical Structure of Quze Acupoint
Below the Quze acupoint are the skin, subcutaneous tissue, median nerve, and brachial muscle. It is located where the brachial artery and vein pass through.
The main trunk of the median nerve is distributed here. The skin is supplied by the medial brachial cutaneous nerve, and the skin creases are deeper.
In addition to the above-mentioned cutaneous nerve, there is also the important vein that starts from the ulnar side of the dorsal hand vein network, rises above the ulnar side of the forearm, turns to the front below the elbow pit, and receives the median basilic vein here. It then goes up along the medial edge of the biceps brachii muscle and enters the brachial vein through the deep fascia at the midpoint of the arm.
The needle passes through the skin, subcutaneous fascia, and the anterior fascia of the elbow between the important vein and the median basilic vein, and directly punctures the main trunk of the median nerve and the deep surface of the brachial muscle. This muscle is innervated by the cutaneous nerve.
