Which Liver point is directly anterior and inferior to the free end of the eleventh rib?

• A. SP-9
• B. LV 12
• C. LV 13
• D. CV 1

Answer: (C)

Locating points by rib and abdominal landmarks helps identify the Liver point that sits in the lateral abdomen. This particular point is positioned directly in front of and below the free end of the eleventh rib, on the lateral side of the abdomen. That placement—anterior and inferior to the end of the eleventh rib—matches LV-13. The other options lie in different regions: SP-9 is on the leg, CV-1 is at the perineum, and LV-12 occupies another abdominal location not aligned with the 11th rib’s end.
