Ren Mai (Conception Vessel) has twenty-four acupoints along the midline of the body. Huiyin (CV1) is hidden between the two yins (anterior and posterior orifices). Anterior to Qugu (CV2) is Zhongji (CV3); Guan Yuan (CV4), Shimen (CV5), and Qihai (CV6) follow in sequence. Yinjiao (CV7), Shenque (CV8), and Shuifen (CV9) are located here; Xiawan (CV10), Jianli (CV11), and Zhongwan (CV12) are anteriorly placed. Shangwan (CV13), Juque (CV14), and Jiutui (CV15) connect; Zhongting (CV16), Danzhong (CV17), and Yutang (CV18) link together. Zigong (CV19), Huagai (CV20), and Xuanji (CV21) follow the course of Xuanji; Tiantu (CV22), Lianquan (CV23), and Chengjiang (CV24) are at the end.

Huiyin (CV1) of Ren Mai (Conception Vessel) is located between the two yins. Qugu (CV2) is secured in the depression at the pubic hair margin. Zhongji (CV3) is located four cun below the umbilicus; Guan Yuan (CV4) connects three cun below the umbilicus.
