Which SI point is in the centre of the suprascapular fossa, directly above Tiānzōng SI-11, in a depression formed when the arm is raised?

• A. SI 11
• B. SI 12
• C. SI 10
• D. SI 5

Answer: (A)

The key idea is the exact landmark labeling of SI points on the scapula. Tianzong, which is SI-11, sits in the center of the suprascapular fossa. When the arm is raised, a distinct hollow forms in that fossa, and Tianzong lies right in that central depression. That precise positioning—center of the suprascapular fossa in the raised-arm position—is what makes this point unique and correct for this location.

In practical terms, this point is used for issues around the shoulder and scapular region, and its location is defined by that central hollow in the suprascapular fossa. Other nearby SI points are located at different spots on or around the scapula, not in this central fossa, so they don’t match the description of being in the center of the suprascapular fossa formed when the arm is raised.
