Which BL point is located just below the buttock, in the center of the transverse gluteal crease, between the hamstring muscles?

• A. BL 36
• B. BL 37
• C. BL 38
• D. BL 39

Answer: (A)

This question tests precise anatomical location of a Bladder (BL) meridian point in the gluteal region. The described spot is the point on the Bladder channel that sits in the center of the transverse gluteal crease, just below the buttock, in the hollow between the hamstring muscles. That exact location—centered in the gluteal crease between the hamstrings—defines this point on the posterior thigh/bluteal line of the BL meridian. Clinically, this point is used for issues in the lower back, hip, and posterior thigh, reflecting its position along the meridian as it travels down the posterior leg. The other nearby BL points lie higher up on the thigh or further down toward the knee and do not occupy this crease’s center between the hamstrings, so they don’t match the described location.
