Specificity of acupoints is one of the basic theories of the acupuncture and moxibustion sciences and is a very important basis to guide the clinical treatment of acupuncture and moxibustion. However, the scientific foundation of specificity of acupoints is still unclear, which has greatly restricted to the clinical effect improvement of acupuncture and moxibustion and has influenced to academic status of acupuncture and moxibustion sciences both in China and abroad. In this paper, the recent related researches are reviewed and then the key effects and mechanism that the tissue structure of acupoints can decide and affect specificity of acupoints-organs effects are analyzed and explored. It is held that acupuncture at the different tissue structure of the different depth in the different or the same acupoints will cause changes of varying qualities or degrees of visceral function because of stimulation of the different receptors in the different tissues followed by excitation of varying afferent nerve fibers.
穴位特异性是针灸学的基本理论之一，是指导针灸临床治疗的重要依据。然而，穴位特异性的科学基础尚不清楚，这极大地限制了针灸临床疗效的提高，并影响了针灸学在国内外的学术地位。本文回顾了近期相关研究，分析探讨了穴位组织结构决定和影响穴-脏效应特异性的关键作用及机制。认为针刺不同穴位或同一穴位不同深度的不同组织结构，会因刺激不同组织中的不同感受器，继而激发不同传入神经纤维，引起内脏功能不同性质或程度的变化。
