Which point is located in the hollow between the intertragic notch posteriorly and the condyloid process of the mandible anteriorly, with the mouth wide open?

Which point is located in the hollow between the intertragic notch posteriorly and the condyloid process of the mandible anteriorly, with the mouth wide open?

• A. GB 3
• B. SJ 23
• C. GB 2
• D. GB 1

Answer: (C)

The question tests a precise anatomical location on the Gallbladder channel. The point is found in the hollow just in front of the ear, specifically between the intertragic notch and the mandibular condyle, and this location is best identified when the mouth is opened wide. The condyle moves forward with a wide-open mouth, creating that distinct depression you palpate behind the jaw hinge, right in front of the ear. That exact spot is GB2. Other nearby ear-region points lie in different hollows or landmarks around the ear or temple, not in this jaw-condyle hollow, so they don’t fit this description. GB2 is uniquely defined by that hollow in front of the ear between the intertragic notch and the condyle with the mouth opened.
