Five bodies is a term used in Chinese medicine to refer to the five basic elements that make up the body: tendons, veins, skin, flesh and bones. The five bodies have a close relationship with the five organs, the liver in the body with the tendons, the spleen in the body with the muscles, the lungs in the body with the fur, the heart in the body with the veins, and the kidneys in the body with the bones.
