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

• A. HT 7
• B. SI 4
• C. SI 3
• D. SI 1

Answer: (C)

This item focuses on locating a point on the Small Intestine channel by its precise spot on the hand. The correct point is on the ulnar border of the hand, in the depression proximal to the head of the fifth metacarpal bone. This exact description identifies SI-3, a Shu-Stream point of the Small Intestine channel (and a Master point of the Du Mai). Other options reside at different locations along the hand or on different channels, so they don’t match this specific anatomical position.
