Popis: We performed a histological study upon the acupuncture points and their effectiveness of clinical treatment; the background was the clinic evidence that a multitude of points are used in treating a disease, but only some of which may have an efficacy, since the others did not. After a comparative histological and anatomic study, it comes out that those points, which are more effective from a structural point of view, identify a neural fibrillar concentration, a well developed capillary network and an increased mucopolysaccharides (MPS) concentration, in particular, acid mucopolysaccharides. The present paper presents histological data, which demonstrate the difference in the structure of the acupuncture points, postulating their specific influence on clinical treatment.
