<p>What do you think might be the underlying elemental imbalance?</p>
<p>What related organ/meridian network governs this anatomical system?</p>
<p>What might be the related or local meridians, and why do you think so? </p>
<p>Would you describe the condition as more kyo or more jitsu? </p>
<p>What might be your treatment approach? </p>

<h3>Summary </h3>
<p>The <b>Intermediate Diploma</b>
Assessment Requirement is for you to be able to explain, in everyday language as if to a friend with no knowledge of anatomy, the four following aspects of this system: </p>
<ul>
<li>Components and Structure</li>
<li>How it works</li>
<li>Interaction with other Systems</li>
<li>What happens when it breaks down?</li>
</ul>
<p>For <b>Professional Licence</b> Assessment you may be asked to explain anything from this assignment using anatomical/medical terminology – “as if on the telephone to a Latin-speaking Doctor!”</p>
