Which point is located on the neck, at the anterior border of the sternocleidomastoid muscle, midway between Renying ST-9 and Qishe ST-11?

Which point is located on the neck, at the anterior border of the sternocleidomastoid muscle, midway between Renying ST-9 and Qishe ST-11?

• A. ST 9
• B. ST 10
• C. ST 11
• D. ST 12

Answer: (A)

Point location along the neck is being tested here: the ST channel runs along the anterior border of the sternocleidomastoid, and the landmarks help you place it in the vertical sequence on the neck. Renying ST-9 sits on that border at about the level of the laryngeal prominence. Qishe ST-11 is a bit lower in the neck near the root of the neck. The description “on the neck, at the anterior border of the sternocleidomastoid, midway between the two landmarks” matches the position of Renying ST-9, making it the best fit. The other points are at different heights or locations in relation to the SCM and clavicle, so they don’t align with this description as precisely.
