I think that the chakras correspond to the endocrine system of the body and the dantiens correspond to the nervous system.

Please check out "The Spiritual Essence of Man" by Master Choa Kok Sui. The book discusses the relationship between the chakras, the taoist equivalent (points), and its kabbalistic equivalent (sephiroth on the tree of life).
