大小腸 泌別淸濁에 關한 考察

A Review on Seperation of the Clear[淸] and Turbid[濁] in Large & Small Intestine

Conceptions about functions of large & small intestine[LI & SI] were focused on the vermiculation in 『Somun(素問)ㆍYeongranbijeonron(靈蘭秘典論)』. However, functions of large & small intestine includes more. In Oriental Medicine, there are sentences in 『Hwangjenaegyeong(黃帝內經)』 "LI manages Fluid [津] and SI manages Humor[液]" It means that LI & SI have an each role in digestion besides vermiculation. In that reason, we try to find out the meaning of the functions of LI and SI in digestion through bibliographic review. As a result, LI and SI have a digestic functon by Seperating the Clear which includes Fluids and Humor and the Turbid which is relatively useless to the Clear.
