Which GV point is located on the midline at the nape of the neck, 0.5 cun inferior to Fengfu (DU-16), and below the spinous process of the first cervical vertebra (impalpable)?

• A. GV 15
• B. GV 16
• C. GV 14
• D. GV 17

Answer: (A)

The question tests your ability to placeGV points along the midline at the back of the neck in relation to bony landmarks. The described location—on the midline at the nape, 0.5 cun below Fengfu (DU-16), and deep under the spinous process of the first cervical vertebra—fits the pattern of a point that lies in that exact small, deeper spot in the nape area. Among the GV points in this region, that precise position corresponds to GV-15. It sits just below DU-16 along the midline and is typically impalpable because it lies so close to the spine of C1. The other points listed are at different levels along the midline of the neck or head, so they don’t match this specific relation to DU-16 and the C1 spine.
