The 'metu' (pl.) or a 'met' (sing.) are a system of channels or ducts in the body which the Ancient Egyptians believed connected the heart to other parts of the body. There were thought to be 22 metu in total and that they ended at the anus. They are mentioned in the medical papyri (e.g. Ebers Papyrus). It is not understood exactly how to interpret the metu in the light of modern knowledge as they are said sometimes to carry blood and sometimes air and sometimes neither. They were believed to also carry disease in the body and be responsible for illness or infection.
