Which LU point is above the wrist, 1 cun proximal to LU-9, on the line connecting LU-9 with LU-6, in the depression at the base of the styloid process of the radius and on the radial side of the radial artery?

Which LU point is above the wrist, 1 cun proximal to LU-9, on the line connecting LU-9 with LU-6, in the depression at the base of the styloid process of the radius and on the radial side of the radial artery?

• A. LU-9
• B. LU-6
• C. LU-5
• D. LU-8

Answer: (D)

This question is about precise point location on the Lung meridian. The described spot lies on the line from LU-9 toward LU-6, about 1 cun proximal to LU-9, in a hollow at the base of the radius’s styloid process and on the radial side of the radial artery. That combination of distance, line, and nearby anatomy identifies the point as LU-8. LU-9 is at the wrist itself, LU-6 is a bit farther up the forearm, and LU-5 sits near the elbow, so they don’t fit the given description as exactly. LU-8 is the point that matches all those clues.
