【Cautions】There are the maxillary a.and v.on the deep surface of the acupoint.If the depth of perpendicular insertion is much deeper，the vessels can be injured.And there are the inferior alveolar n.，the lingual n.and the middle meningeal a.on the deep surface of the external pterygoid muscle of the acupoint.If the middle meningeal a.is needle-inserted，the heavy bleeding will occur.Hence，the acupoint cannot be inserted deeply for avoiding the vessels injury.
