NOTES:
The Points column tells how many NV's to hold for that meridian.
For example, Gall Bladder meridian has a total of 5 nV's, 1 behind each knee, 2 near the collar bone, and 1 at the anterior fontanel.
The Same As column shows which other meridians share the anterior fontanel with Central Vessel, and Lung and Heart meridians, but the NV's at the knees and collarbone are unique to Gall Bladder.
