Which SI point is on the ulnar border of the little finger, in a depression just distal to the metacarpo-phalangeal joint?

• A. SI 3
• B. SI 2
• C. HT 7
• D. HT 4

Answer: (B)

Focus on where the Small Intestine channel points sit along the little finger. Along the ulnar border of the little finger, the points run from distal to proximal toward the wrist. The distal-most on this border is at the tip (SI-1). Just distal to the metacarpo-phalangeal joint lies the next point on the same border (SI-2). This spot is a small depression on the ulnar side of the finger, near where the proximal phalanx begins. A bit farther toward the wrist is SI-3, located higher up between the head of the 5th metacarpal and the triquetrum, on the same border. The description given—on the ulnar border of the little finger, in a depression just distal to the metacarpo-phalangeal joint—matches SI-2.
