O Shen (rins) ocupa lugar de destaque na fisiologia e na fisiopatologia da medicina tradicional chinesa, com as seguintes funçoes energéticas: produz o Yang e o Yin de todo o corpo, mantém a saúde e promove a reproduçao. O Shen (rins) mantém também ligaçoes energéticas com as orelhas, garganta, orifícios da parte inferior do corpo (ânus e uretra), ossos, medulas óssea e espinal e com o encéfalo.
