Which point is located in the depression distal to the junction of the 4th and 5th metatarsal bones, on the lateral side of the tendon of m. extensor digitorum longus (branch to little toe)?

Which point is located in the depression distal to the junction of the 4th and 5th metatarsal bones, on the lateral side of the tendon of m. extensor digitorum longus (branch to little toe)?

• A. GB42
• B. GB41
• C. LV2
• D. GB44

Answer: (B)

This item tests precise point location on the Gallbladder channel. The described depression on the dorsum of the foot—distal to the junction of the 4th and 5th metatarsal bones, on the lateral side of the extensor digitorum longus tendon—matches the location of Gallbladder point 41. GB41 is the Shu-Stream (Wood) point of the Gallbladder channel and sits exactly in that hollow on the dorsum of the foot. The other points are located in different spots along the GB or LV channels (or on different toes), so they don’t fit this surface anatomy.
