Which point is located at the center of the suprasternal fossa, 0.5 cun above the suprasternal notch?

• A. CV 22
• B. CV 23
• C. CV 24
• D. GV 1

Answer: (A)

Locating acupuncture points by precise midline anatomy is being tested here. The point described—center of the suprasternal fossa, 0.5 cun above the suprasternal notch—is Tiantu, a point on the Ren (Conception) channel. This spot sits in the suprasternal fossa along the midline and is classically used for issues related to the throat, chest, and voice, reflecting its location on the chest’s central area.

The other nearby points are not in this chest region: they’re located around the mouth and chin area, or far away at the coccyx along the Governing Vessel, so they do not match the described location in the suprasternal fossa.
