Itself<br />

hair on the head dead outer skin liver<br />

hair on the body growing inner gall bladder<br />

skin<br />

nails blood bowels<br />

teeth flesh stomach<br />

dirt found in the muscles spleen<br />

eyes<br />

tears nerves kidneys<br />

drool bones heart<br />

spittle marrow lungs<br />

excrement fat fresh food<br />

receptacle<br />

urine lymph partially digested<br />

food receptacle<br />

grease on the<br />

skin<br />

brain<br />

phlegm of the<br />

lungs<br />
