Although Bi(Þ¡ Spleen) is a major organ which controls digestion and absorption in Korean medicine, there also introduced another function of bi, which is called ¡¯bitonghyul(Þ¡÷Öúì)¡¯ that means the spleen controls(holdings) the blood. While the spleen is involved in the function of blood generation through the digestion and absorption of food, ¡¯bitonghyul¡¯ is another expression regarding function of the spleen. The meaning of ¡¯bitonghyul¡¯ is related with the function of keeping the blood flowing within the blood vessels, hemostasis. Comparing the function of the spleen with the mechanisms of hemostais, it is concluded that ¡¯bitonghyul¡¯ is a physiological effects which affect hemostatic mechanisms via absorption of vitamin K.
