Acupuncture points are conceived as points on the skin reflecting visceral conditions and the sites for acupuncture treatment. In the skin, acupoints tend to show higher electric conductivity and have higher concentration of neural and vascular elements as well as mast cells. Locations of some acupoints correspond to the motor points, others to the Golgi tendon organs. There is a group of midline acupoints. Most acupoints are associated with meridians and are known as meridian points. The nature of meridians is under scientific scrutiny. For identification of canine acupoints, the human meridian nomenclature was adopted.
穴位被认为是皮肤上反映内脏状况的点以及针灸治疗的部位。在皮肤中，穴位往往表现出较高的导电性，并且具有较高浓度的神经、血管成分以及肥大细胞。一些穴位的位置对应于运动点，其他穴位对应于高尔基腱器官。有一组中线穴位。大多数穴位与经络相关，被称为经穴。经络的本质正在接受科学审视。为了识别犬类穴位，采用了人类经络命名法。
