When the elbow is flexed, this point is located in the depression 1 cun proximal to and 1 cun lateral to LI-11.

• A. LI-11
• B. LI-13
• C. LI-14
• D. LI-12

Answer: (D)

The main idea is the relative positioning along the LI meridian around the elbow. LI-11 sits at the elbow in the depression at the lateral end of the cubital crease when the elbow is flexed. If you move one cun toward the shoulder (proximal) and one cun toward the outer side of the arm (lateral), you reach a point on the lateral upper arm in a shallow hollow. That location corresponds to LI-12. The higher points toward the shoulder (LI-13 and LI-14) sit farther up and in different areas, so they don’t match this specific 1 cun proximal and 1 cun lateral relation to LI-11.
