Question 1
Which point is on the ulnar border of the hand, proximal to the head of the fifth metacarpal bone?
Correct Answer:
SI 3
Explanation:
The location described points to Small Intestine 3. It lies on the ulnar border of the hand in a small hollow just proximal to the head of the fifth metacarpal bone, along the little-finger side of the hand. This precise landmark is what makes it the correct choice. The other points are located in different areas—their landmarks do not match the described position on the ulnar border near the base of the little finger.
Question 2
Which GV point is located on the midline of the upper back in the depression below the spinous process of the fifth thoracic vertebra?
Correct Answer:
GV 11
Explanation:
Governing Vessel points travel along the midline of the spine, each at a specific vertebral level. The depression just below the spinous process of the fifth thoracic vertebra corresponds to the midline location of the point at that level, which is GV-11. So this spot on the upper back aligns exactly with GV-11, making it the best fit. The other options would be located at different vertebral levels along the midline and would not be found at this T5 depression.
Question 3
Which acupuncture point is located in the second intercostal space, 2 cun lateral to the midline?
Correct Answer:
KD 25
Explanation:
Understanding how to locate chest points is about using intercostal spaces and lateral distance from the midline. The second intercostal space is the gap between the second and third ribs. A point located there, 2 cun lateral to the midline, sits on the anterior chest wall along the Kidney channel. This position matches KD-25, which sits at that exact space and distance. So the described spot corresponds to that point on the Kidney channel, making it the correct choice. In practice, 2 cun lateral to the midline is roughly two fingerbreadths from the center and is used to target chest-related issues along the KD pathway.
Question 4
At the top of the chest, directly below ST-12, on the inferior border of the clavicle, 4 cun lateral to the midline, on the mamillary line, which point is described?
Correct Answer:
ST 13
Explanation:
Precise chest-wall point locations along the stomach channel use the clavicle and the mamillary line. ST12 sits at the top of the chest in the supraclavicular fossa, about 4 cun lateral to the midline. Directly below it, on the inferior border of the clavicle and along the mamillary line (the vertical line 4 cun lateral to the midline), is ST13. That placement matches the description, which is why this point is ST13. ST14 and ST15 lie in intercostal spaces farther down the chest along the same vertical line, not on the inferior border of the clavicle, so they don’t fit the described location.
Question 5
Which acupuncture point is located in the depression on the lower border of the clavicle, 2 cun lateral to the midline?
Correct Answer:
KD 27
Explanation:
The main idea here is using precise chest landmarks and the cun measurement to locate a point. The description “in the depression on the lower border of the clavicle, 2 cun lateral to the midline” matches the Kidney channel point that sits right under the clavicle in that hollow, at about the first intercostal space. This point is KD-27 (Shen Guan). It lies two cun away from the body's midline and just below the clavicle, so the given location points directly to this point. The other options would be found in different spots on the chest or midline areas, so they don’t fit the described landmark. KD-27 is the one that exactly matches that clavicular depression two cun from the midline.
