Abstract in brief

The article redefines acupuncture meridians as tissue tracts influenced by organ function, rather than fixed anatomical structures like primo vessels.
It clarifies that superficial primo vessels support the formation of meridians but are not equivalent to them; meridians are affected tissue pathways that reflect organ health.
The hypothesis suggests that organ information is transmitted via electrical waves through connective tissues, and primo vessels inadvertently facilitate this communication without their primary physiological role.]
