脏腑内景，各有区别。咽喉二窍，异途施化。喉在前，其质坚空，连接肺本，通呼吸之气，分布
于五脏，为气息之要道∶咽在后，其质柔空，下按胃本，水谷由此而入胃，乃运粮之关津。二道并行，
各不相犯。盖饮食必历气口而下，气口有一会厌，当饮食方咽，会厌即垂，气口乃闭，故水谷下咽，
不混入喉。若言语呼吸，则会厌开张，所以当饮食言语，水谷乘气送入喉管，遂呛而咳矣。喉下为肺，附
着脊之第三椎。肺形四垂，六叶白莹，谓为华盖，以复诸脏，虚如蜂窠，呼之则虚，吸之则满，上通于
鼻，下无透窍。肺之下有心，附着脊之第五椎。心有系络，上联于肺，其象尖圆，形如莲蕊，其中有窍，
多寡不同，上通于舌，下无透窍，其脾肝肾三脏，各有一系，上透膈膜，以通于心，外有赤黄裹脂，是

之下有肾，附于脊之第十四椎下。肾有两枚，形如豇豆，相并而曲，附于脊之两旁，相去各一寸五
分。外有黄脂包裹，俱通脊中，上至髓海，下至尾 。亦各有一系，上系则通于心，下系则通精窍，
开窍于二阴。两肾之前，膀胱之后，出大肠之上左，居小肠之下右，是谓命门，又曰子宫，〔即

之内景，便照然于心目矣。
脏腑的内部结构，各有不同。咽喉这两个窍道，功能途径各异。喉在前，质地坚硬中空，连接肺脏根本，主管呼吸之气，分布于五脏，是气息通行的关键通道；咽在后，质地柔软中空，向下连接胃脏根本，饮食水谷由此进入胃中，是运送粮食的关隘津渡。这两条道路并行，互不干扰。大概饮食必须经过气口（喉咙）下行，气口处有一会厌软骨，当饮食刚要吞咽时，会厌即下垂，封闭气口，所以水谷下咽时，不会混入喉部。如果是言语或呼吸，则会厌张开，所以当一边饮食一边说话时，水谷随着气流送入喉管，就会引起呛咳。
喉的下方是肺，附着在脊柱第三椎骨处。肺的形状呈四垂状，有六片叶子，色泽白而晶莹，被称为“华盖”，覆盖保护其他脏腑，内部空虚如同蜂巢，呼气时则虚，吸气时则满，上通于鼻，下无透窍。肺的下方是心，附着在脊柱第五椎骨处。心有系络，向上连接肺，形状尖圆，像莲花的花蕊，中间有孔窍，数量多少不一，上通于舌，下无透窍。脾、肝、肾这三个脏器，各有一条系带，向上穿透膈膜，以连通心脏，外面包裹着赤黄色的脂肪，这就是心包络，也就是膻中，所以医经说膻中是心的主宫城。心的下方有膈膜，与脊柱和胁肋相连，遮蔽浊气，使其不能向上熏蒸心肺。
膈膜的下方是脾，位于第十一椎骨之下。脾膜连着胃，形状像刀镰，听到声音就会颤动，一动就摩擦胃，食物才能消化。脾有系带上通于心，在脾的下方开窍。左边是肝，附着在脊柱第十三椎骨之下。肝有七片叶子，也有两、三片叶子的，还有独叶的。肝也有系带，上通于心，开窍于目，下方也无窍。在肝的短叶之间，附着一个胆。胆里有胆汁，主要功能是贮藏而不排泄。
肝的下方是肾，附着在脊柱第十四椎骨之下。肾有两个，形状像豇豆，并列弯曲，附着在脊柱两旁，相距各一寸五分。外面有黄色脂肪包裹，都连通脊中，上至髓海，下至尾闾。肾也各有一条系带，上系连通心脏，下系连通精窍，开窍于前后二阴。在两肾之前，膀胱之后，大肠之上左侧，小肠之下右侧，这个地方称为命门，又叫做子宫（即医经所说的胞中）。在男性这里是精室，在女性这里是血室（胞胎系于此）。两个肾都属水，但左属阴，右属阳，扁鹊（越人）说左边是肾，右边是命门，这是不对的。命门就在两肾中间，连通肾下方的系带，作为相火，一阳处于二阴之间，所以构成了坎卦。
这就是喉这一窍道，施行气化运化，熏蒸流行，从而形成脉络的情况。咽连通胃脘，胃的上部叫贲门，饮食的精微精气，从这里输送到脾并到达肺，散布到各条经脉；胃的中部，盛受水谷并进行腐熟消化。胃的下方，左侧是小肠，小肠上口即胃的下口，名叫幽门，前方附着在脐上两寸，后方附着于脊柱，水谷由此进入。小肠向左回旋重叠积存十六个弯曲，小肠下口即大肠的上口，名叫阑门，到了这里就分别清浊，水液渗入膀胱，糟粕传入大肠。
大肠位于胃的下方，右侧对应肚脐，左侧回旋也十六个弯曲，所以叫回肠。广肠就是回肠中更大的部分，附着于脊柱，接受回肠的渣滓。向左环叠积聚，向下直通直肠，抵达肛门，总称为大肠。膀胱位于第十九椎骨处，在肾的下方，广肠的前方，有下口，无上口。水液由此从回肠分离，随着气体渗透进入，下连前阴，是尿液排出的地方；其进入和排出，都由气化作用决定。这就是咽这一窍道，资助生成气血，转化糟粕并出入的情况。
三焦方面，上焦处于膈膜之上，主受纳，受纳后不排出，医经说上焦如雾，是指宗气积聚在胸中，像天上的雾气一样。中焦对应胃的中部，主腐熟水谷，医经说中焦如沤，是说营血在中焦化生，随着气流行，以供养身体，就像水泡浮沉在水面之间一样。下焦起于阑门之下，主排出而不受纳，医经说下焦如渎，就像河流沟渠中的水，流去而不返回。学者如果能熟记这些内容，那么脏腑的内部景象，就能在心中清晰明了了。
The internal structures of the Zang-Fu organs (Viscera) differ from one another. The throat (Hou) and pharynx (Yan) are two orifices that function via different pathways. The throat is located anteriorly, with a firm yet hollow texture, connecting to the root of the Lung (Fei), governing the Qi of respiration, and distributing to the five Zang organs; it serves as the critical pathway for breath. The pharynx is located posteriorly, with a soft yet hollow texture, extending downward to connect to the root of the Stomach (Wei); food and fluids enter the stomach through it, serving as the passageway for nourishment. These two channels run parallel without interfering with each other. Generally, food and drink must descend through the air passage (Qi Kou). At this passage lies the epiglottis (Hui Yan); when swallowing begins, the epiglottis droops to close the air passage, ensuring that food and fluids do not mix into the throat. However, during speech or breathing, the epiglottis opens. Therefore, if one speaks while eating, food may be carried by the airflow into the trachea, causing choking and coughing.
Below the throat lies the Lung, attached to the third thoracic vertebra of the spine. The Lung has a hanging shape with six lobes, white and lustrous, referred to as the "Canopy" (Hua Gai) because it covers and protects the other organs. Its interior is spongy like a honeycomb; it becomes empty upon exhalation and full upon inhalation. It connects superiorly to the nose but has no opening inferiorly. Below the Lung lies the Heart (Xin), attached to the fifth thoracic vertebra. The Heart is connected by ligaments to the Lung superiorly. It is pointed and round, resembling a lotus stamen, with varying numbers of orifices inside. It connects superiorly to the tongue but has no opening inferiorly. The Spleen (Pi), Liver (Gan), and Kidney (Shen) each have a ligamentous connection penetrating the diaphragm to communicate with the Heart. Externally, they are wrapped in yellowish fat, forming the Pericardium (Xin Bao Luo), also known as the Tan Zhong (Chest Center). Thus, the classics state that the Tan Zhong is the palace city of the Heart.
Below the Heart is the diaphragm, adhering to the spine and ribs, which blocks turbid Qi from ascending to smoke the Heart and Lungs. Below the diaphragm lies the Spleen, positioned below the eleventh thoracic vertebra. The Spleen's membrane connects to the Stomach, shaped like a sickle; it moves upon hearing sounds, rubbing against the Stomach to aid digestion. It has a ligament connecting upward to the Heart and an opening below the Spleen itself. To the left is the Liver, attached below the thirteenth thoracic vertebra. The Liver typically has seven lobes, though some have two, three, or even a single lobe. It also has a ligament connecting upward to the Heart, opens into the eyes, and has no inferior opening. Between the short lobes of the Liver attaches the Gallbladder (Dan). The Gallbladder contains bile and functions primarily to store rather than excrete.
Below the Liver lie the Kidneys, attached below the fourteenth thoracic vertebra. There are two Kidneys, shaped like kidney beans, curved and adjacent, attached to both sides of the spine, each about 1.5 cun apart. They are wrapped externally in yellow fat and connect to the spinal marrow, extending up to the Sea of Marrow and down to the tailbone. Each Kidney has a ligament: the upper one connects to the Heart, and the lower one connects to the essence orifice, opening at the two yin orifices (urethra and anus). Located anterior to the two Kidneys, posterior to the Bladder, superior to the large intestine on the left, and inferior to the small intestine on the right, is the Gate of Life (Ming Men), also called the Uterus (Zi Gong) [which refers to the Bao Zhong mentioned in the classics]. In males, this is the chamber of essence; in females, it is the chamber of blood [where the fetus is anchored]. Both Kidneys belong to Water, but the left belongs to Yin and the right to Yang. Yue Ren (Bian Que) claimed the left is the Kidney and the right is the Ming Men, which is incorrect. The Ming Men is situated between the two Kidneys, connecting to the lower ligament of the Kidneys, serving as the Minister Fire (Xiang Huo). With one Yang line situated between two Yin lines, it forms the Kan hexagram. This describes how the throat orifice facilitates Qi transformation, steaming and circulating to form the meridians.
The pharynx connects to the Wei Guan (Stomach region). The upper part of the Stomach is named the Fen Men (Cardia); the essence of food and drink is transported here to the Spleen and then to the Lung, spreading through the vessels. The middle part of the Stomach receives and ripens food and fluids. Inferior to the Stomach, on the left, is the Small Intestine. Its upper opening is the lower part of the Stomach, named the You Men (Pylorus), located anteriorly 2 cun above the umbilicus and posteriorly against the spine, where food and fluids enter. The Small Intestine loops back sixteen times on the left. Its lower opening is the upper opening of the Large Intestine, named the Lan Men (Ileocecal Valve). Here, clear and turbid substances are separated; fluid seeps into the Bladder, while waste enters the Large Intestine.
The Large Intestine is located below the Stomach, aligned with the umbilicus on the right, and looping back sixteen times on the left, hence called the Hui Chang (Returning Intestine). The Guang Chang (Rectum) is the larger continuation of the Hui Chang, attached to the spine, receiving residue from the returning intestine. It loops to the left, descends straight to the anus, and is collectively termed the Large Intestine. The Bladder is located at the nineteenth thoracic vertebra, below the Kidneys and anterior to the rectum. It has a lower opening but no upper opening. Fluids separate from the Hui Chang and seep in according to Qi movement, connecting inferiorly to the external genitalia as the exit for urine; both entry and exit are governed by Qi transformation. This describes how the pharynx orifice aids in generating Qi and Blood, transforming waste for excretion.
Regarding the San Jiao (Triple Burner): The Upper Burner is above the diaphragm, governing reception without excretion. The classics state "The Upper Burner is like mist," referring to Zong Qi (Gathering Qi) accumulating in the chest, resembling heavenly mist. The Middle Burner corresponds to the middle of the Stomach, governing the ripening of food and fluids. "The Middle Burner is like a fermenting vat" indicates that Ying Blood (Nutritive Blood) is generated in the Middle Burner, circulating with Qi to nourish the body, similar to bubbles floating in water. The Lower Burner begins below the Lan Men, governing excretion without reception. "The Lower Burner is like a ditch" signifies water flowing in a river channel, moving forward without returning. If students master these details, the internal landscape of the Zang-Fu organs will become clear in their minds and eyes.
