Which GV point is at the depression below the spinous process of the sixth thoracic vertebra on the midline?

• A. GV 9
• B. GV 10
• C. GV 8
• D. GV 11

Answer: (B)

The location is defined by a spot along the midline of the back that corresponds to a specific vertebral level, described as the depression below the spinous process. For the sixth thoracic vertebra, this exact description points to GV10. So the point is at the midline, at the level of T6, in the small hollow just beneath the spinous process of that vertebra. The other options would map to neighboring vertebral levels, not T6, so they don’t match this description.
