Which SI point is on the scapula, in a tender depression one third of the distance from the midpoint of the inferior border of the scapular spine to the inferior angle?

• A. SI 11
• B. SI 10
• C. SI 12
• D. SI 13

Answer: (B)

This question tests how to locate the posterior Small Intestine (SI) points on the scapula by a precise depression and distance. The described tender hollow lies between the bottom of the scapular spine and the inferior angle, about one third of the way from the midpoint of the spine’s inferior border down to the inferior angle. That exact positioning corresponds to SI 10, a point used for shoulder and scapular pain and for releasing stagnation in the scapular region.

The other scapular SI points sit in nearby but different depressions, not at this specific one-third spot, so they don’t match the description. Therefore the correct point is SI 10.
