Which point is on the dorsum of the foot between the second and toes, 0.5 cun proximal to the margin of the web?

• A. ST 44
• B. ST 45
• C. ST 42
• D. SP 3

Answer: (A)

The position described targets a Stomach channel point that sits on the top surface of the foot in the web space between the toes, specifically 0.5 cun proximal to the edge of the web. This is the ST-44 point, a Ying-Spring point of the Stomach channel. Its location is defined by being in the interdigital space between the second and third toes, just toward the body from the web margin. That precise web-space location distinguishes it from the other options, which lie in different parts of the foot or on different toes (for example, one is toward the toe tip, another on the medial side of the big toe, and so on).
