The Kidney Divergent Channel separates from the main channel in the popliteal fossa (KI-10), goes to BL-40 and ascends along the pathway of the Bladder channel. It reaches BL-36 and penetrates into the anus and goes to the Bladder and the Kidney. It goes to BL-23 and connects with Dai Mai, directing through the waist toward the anterior aspect of the body. It ascends following the pathway of the main Kidney channel, goes up through the neck, above the Adam's apple CV-23 and goes toward the nape of the neck until BL-10 where it joins the main channel and the Bladder Divergent.
