Which point is located on the posterior border of the sternocleidomastoid muscle, level with the laryngeal prominence?

• A. SI 15
• B. SI 16
• C. SI 17
• D. SI 19

Answer: (A)

Locating neck points uses clear surface landmarks. The point described sits on the posterior edge of the sternocleidomastoid muscle, exactly at the level of the laryngeal prominence (Adam’s apple). That precise position—posterior border of the SCM and level with the laryngeal prominence—defines this Small Intestine point. The other neck points are situated at different vertical levels or on different aspects of the muscle, so they don’t match this landmark.
