Governor Vessel is a typical example of the gap model of a channel. It originates in the [[Kidney]], extends down to the perineum through the uterus or prostate gland, and then, one of the main branches ascends through the vertebral column. The point of GV-16 (Fong Fu) gives birth to the branch, which enters the scull. Its main pathway lies through the top of the head and ends at the upper lip. | Governor Vessel is a typical example of the gap model of a channel.

What is an anatomical equivalent of the Governor Vessel: spinal chord or vertebral column? We believe that Governor Vessel is a vertebral channel and the point GV-16 (Fong Fu) corresponds to [[Foramen Magnum]] at the occipital bone. Therefore, the branch of Governor Vessel penetrating the skull is the extension of the vertebral channel into the skull through [[Foramen Magnum]]. <ref>[http://www.acutechinternational.com/html/modern_view.html Medical Acupuncture]</ref><ref>Medical Acupuncture, Mikhail Teppone, Romen Avakyan</ref> | What is an anatomical equivalent of the Governor Vessel: spinal chord or vertebral column?
