Which acupuncture point lies on the upper abdomen 5 cun above the umbilicus?

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

Answer: (B)

Locating points by vertical distance from the umbilicus is how the abdominal map is read. Five cun above the navel sits on the anterior midline of the upper abdomen, and this spot on the kidney channel is the point KD-20. That exact midline position at that height is what identifies it as the kidney-point described in the question.

The other options are not on that precise midline level, or are displaced to the side, so they don’t match the described location.
