Which BL point is on the lateral side of the foot, 1.5 cun inferior to BL60, in a tender depression on the calcaneum?

• A. BL 60
• B. BL 62
• C. BL 61
• D. BL 63

Answer: (C)

This asks you to identify a Bladder channel point by its precise location on the foot using a fixed measurement from a known landmark. The key is that the point is on the lateral side of the foot, 1.5 cun below BL60, and located in a tender depression on the calcaneus.

BL60 sits behind the lateral malleolus in a depression between the lateral malleolus and the Achilles tendon. From there, move 1.5 cun downward along the outer edge toward the heel. In a palpable tender depression on the calcaneus, you’ve found BL61. This point is part of the Bladder channel and corresponds to the described heel-region location, which is why it’s the correct choice.
