Which GV point is located on the midline of the upper back in the depression below the spinous process of the fifth thoracic vertebra?

• A. GV 11
• B. GV 12
• C. GV 10
• D. GV 13

Answer: (A)

Governing Vessel points travel along the midline of the spine, each at a specific vertebral level. The depression just below the spinous process of the fifth thoracic vertebra corresponds to the midline location of the point at that level, which is GV-11. So this spot on the upper back aligns exactly with GV-11, making it the best fit. The other options would be located at different vertebral levels along the midline and would not be found at this T5 depression.
