Which acupuncture point lies on the upper abdomen 4 cun above the umbilicus?

• A. KD 19
• B. KD 20
• C. KD 21
• D. PC 1

Answer: (A)

Locating front abdominal points uses the umbilicus as a fixed reference and measures vertically along the midline in cun. Four cun above the umbilicus on that midline is KD-19, so it sits in the upper abdomen on the Kidney meridian.

This is why KD-19 is the best answer: it matches the exact position described. The other options are at different locations (for example, they are not at the same midline 4-cun height in the upper abdomen), so they don’t fit the given description.
