Which acupuncture point is located in the second intercostal space, 2 cun lateral to the midline?

• A. KD 26
• B. KD 24
• C. KD 23
• D. KD 25

Answer: (D)

Understanding how to locate chest points is about using intercostal spaces and lateral distance from the midline. The second intercostal space is the gap between the second and third ribs. A point located there, 2 cun lateral to the midline, sits on the anterior chest wall along the Kidney channel. This position matches KD-25, which sits at that exact space and distance. So the described spot corresponds to that point on the Kidney channel, making it the correct choice. In practice, 2 cun lateral to the midline is roughly two fingerbreadths from the center and is used to target chest-related issues along the KD pathway.
