The primo vascular system has a specific anatomical and immunohistochemical signature that sets it apart from the arteriovenous and lymphatic systems. With immune and endocrine functions, the primo vascular system has been found to play a large role in biological processes, including tissue regeneration, inflammation, and cancer metastases. Although scientifically confirmed in 2002, the original discovery was made in the early 1960s by Bong-Han Kim, a North Korean scientist. It would take nearly 40 years after that discovery for scientists to revisit Kim's research to confirm the early findings. The presence of primo vessels in and around blood and lymph vessels, nerves, viscera, and fascia, as well as in the brain and spinal cord, reveals a common link that could potentially open novel possibilities of integration with cranial, lymphatic, visceral, and fascial approaches in manual medicine.
原血管系统具有特定的解剖学和免疫组织化学特征，使其有别于动静脉系统和淋巴系统。原血管系统具有免疫和内分泌功能，已发现其在包括组织再生、炎症和癌症转移在内的生物过程中发挥着重要作用。尽管在2002年得到了科学证实，但最初的发现是由朝鲜科学家金奉韩在20世纪60年代初做出的。在该发现之后，科学家们花了近40年时间重新审视金的研究，以证实早期发现。在血管、淋巴管、神经、内脏和筋膜内外以及脑和脊髓中存在原血管，这揭示了一个共同的联系，可能为手法医学中与颅骨、淋巴、内脏和筋膜方法相结合开辟新的可能性。
