The Triple Burner o Energizer of Chinese tradition (Sanjiao) is here renamed and identified with the Duodenum-Exocrine Pancreas, because the duodenum has at least three digestive functions that correspond to  those described by traditional Chinese medicine. In fact, duodenum-pancreas exocrine produces alkaline juice itself and receives bile and pancreatic secretion. In the pictures below, the Sanjiao channel path on the face actually seems to overlap with the duodenum and pancreas.
