THE STUDY ON THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE TEMPERATURE AND THE BLOOD PERFUSION OF ANIMAL TONGUE
动物舌温与血液灌注率的关系特性研究

The study on the mechanism of the tongue inspection of traditional Chinese medicine combining with bio-heat transfer is greatly important. By using many advanced apparatus and techniques, the authors carried out series of animal experiments. Animal modeling was carried out to change the blood perfusion of the pig tongue, and the temperatures on the surface of the tongue at the correspond-ing blood perfusions were measured to study the relation between the blood perfusions and the tempera-tures on varied positions of the tongue surface. The results show that the temperatures on the surface of the tongue rise with increasing of the blood perfusions. But when the latter reaches a definite value, the temperatures will not change anymore and at the same time the blood perfusion will keep invariable. The relation between the temperatures and the blood perfusions obtained from the animal experiments could be used as a basis for the establishment of the bio-heat transfer equation for the tongue.
