Which point is on the dorsum of the foot at the junction of the second and third metatarsal bones and the second and third cuneiform bones, 1.5 cun distal to ST-41 on the line ST-41 to ST-43?

• A. ST 41
• B. ST 42
• C. ST 43
• D. ST 44

Answer: (B)

The stretch on the dorsum of the foot along the stomach channel includes a point positioned between the second and third metatarsals and between the second and third cuneiform bones, about 1.5 cun distal to the point near the ankle (ST-41) and in line toward ST-43. That exact spot corresponds to ST-42. So the description matches ST-42, the next point along the channel from ST-41 toward ST-43.
