Which LU point lies on the thenar eminence of the hand, in a depression between the midpoint of the shaft of the first metacarpal bone and the thenar muscles?

• A. LU-9
• B. LU-10
• C. LU-8
• D. LU-7

Answer: (B)

The key idea is knowing which Lung-channel point sits on the hand itself, specifically on the palm in the thenar region. The Lung Ying-Spring point sits exactly there: on the thenar eminence of the hand, in the hollow between the midpoint of the first metacarpal shaft and the thenar muscles. This precise location is what makes it the correct choice for the description.

The other points listed are located at the wrist or along the forearm, not in that palm depression, so they don’t match the given description.
