Kidney- Shaoyin

The Kidney channel travels from underneath the small toe to the medial malleolus, up the inner leg to the groin. There is connects with GV1 and enters the lower spine. It then connects to its yang pair the Bladder, and the Kidney at the lumbar region.
Throughout other branches the Kidney channel connects to the Liver, Lungs, and Heart.
