Which point is at the wrist joint, between the tendons of palmaris longus and flexor carpi radialis, level with Shenmen HE-7?

Which point is at the wrist joint, between the tendons of palmaris longus and flexor carpi radialis, level with Shenmen HE-7?

• A. PC 7
• B. PC 2
• C. PC 9
• D. SJ 1

Answer: (A)

Focus on locating a wrist-point by using palpable landmarks. At the wrist crease, the tendons run in a recognizable order: flexor carpi radialis on the radial side, palmaris longus in the middle, and flexor carpi ulnaris on the ulna side. The Pericardium channel point that sits exactly in the depression between the tendons of palmaris longus and flexor carpi radialis at the level of Shenmen (Heart 7) is the point you’re after. This point is the Pericardium 7 (Daling). It’s placed at the transverse wrist crease, aligned with Shenmen, making it the correct answer. The other options occupy different locations (palm, fingertip, or along a different channel) and don’t match this wrist-crease relationship.
