D. the eyelids / Spleen - ANSWER✔✔-A. the pupil / Heart
Source: The pupil is associated with the Kidneys. Both canthi are associated with the Heart. The theory
of the Five Wheels is used in the diagnosis of eye disorders. It divides the eyes into five areas called
Wheels. The BLOOD WHEEL is associated with the Heart and corresponds to both canthi. The Heart
goversn the Blood. In the inner canthi are small openings (called palace of tears) from which tears flow
and disperse essential qi that moistens and nourish the eyeball. The WIND WHEEL is asociated with the
Liver and corresponds to the iris (black of the eye) and defends the pupil-spirit. The Liver governs Wind.
The QI WHEEL is associated with the Lungs and corresponds to the sclera (whites of the eye) which
protects the inner system of the eyeball. The Lungs govern qi. The WATER WHEEL is associated with the
Kidneys and corresponds to the pupil-spirit which should be clear and bright, reflecting the importance
to vision. The Kidneys govern water. The FLESH WHEEL is associated with the Spleen and corrresponds to
the eyelids (top and bottom). The upper eyelid and the eye lashes help to protect the eyeball. The Spleen
governs the muscles.
