Which CV point is on the midline of the sternum, level with the junction of the third intercostal space?

• A. CV 17
• B. CV 18
• C. CV 19
• D. CV 20

Answer: (B)

The front midline points along the Conception Vessel align with specific intercostal spaces down the sternum. The point located at the midline of the sternum at the level of the junction of the third intercostal space corresponds to CV-18. The pattern on the chest runs CV-17 at the 4th intercostal space, CV-18 at the 3rd, CV-19 at the 2nd, and CV-20 at the 1st. So the described location matches CV-18.
