Which point is on the ulnar border of the hand, proximal to the head of the fifth metacarpal bone?

Which point is on the ulnar border of the hand, proximal to the head of the fifth metacarpal bone?

• A. HT 4
• B. SI 3
• C. SI 1
• D. SI 4

Answer: (B)

The location described points to Small Intestine 3. It lies on the ulnar border of the hand in a small hollow just proximal to the head of the fifth metacarpal bone, along the little-finger side of the hand. This precise landmark is what makes it the correct choice. The other points are located in different areas—their landmarks do not match the described position on the ulnar border near the base of the little finger.
