(a) A low impedance meridian line propagated along the neck, back of the ear, and the tip of ear (represented by red dots). (b) A low impedance meridian line propagated along the lower jaw and extended to the helix. (c) A low impedance meridian line propagated along the midline of the back and extended to the tail. (× marked the position of low hydraulic resistance points where hydrogel was injected).
