| LI-10-2
cun distal to ➞ L.I.-11, on the line connecting ➞ L.I.-5 and ➞L.I.-11,

depression between the end of the crease and the lateral epicondyle of
the humerus, on the extensor carpi radialis longus muscle. |  |

3.2). |  |
| LI-19-On the maxilla, slightly below the lateral margin of the nostril. |  |
| LI-4-On
the radial aspect of the hand, between the 1st and 2nd metacarpal
bones, closer to the 2nd metacarpal bone and approximately at its
midpoint. |  |
| LU-7-On
the radial aspect of the forearm, directly above the styloid process
of the radius, approximately 1.5 cun proximal to the wrist joint space
(wrist crease) in a V-shaped groove. |  |
| Ren-22-0.5 cun superior to the sternum, in the centre of the suprasternal fossa. |  |
| Ren-23-On the anterior midline, superior to the upper border of the hyoid bone. |  |

| SP-6-3 cun proximal to the highest prominence of the medial malleolus, on the posterior border of the medial crest of the tibia. |  |
| ST-10-On the anterior border of the sternocleidomastoid muscle, at the midpoint of a line connecting ➞ ST-9 and ST-11. |  |
| ST-12-In the supraclavicular fossa, superior to the midpoint of the clavicle, approximately 4 cun lateral to the anterior midline. |  |
| ST-36-3
cun distal to ➞ ST-35 (‘lateral eye of the knee’) and 1 fingerbreadth
lateral to the anterior crest of the tibia, on the tibialis anterior
muscle. |  |
| ST-4-With
the patient looking straight ahead, directly below the centre of the
pupil and approximately 0.4 cun lateral to the corner of the mouth. |  |
| ST-5-On the lateral mandible, anterior to the masseter muscle. |  |
| ST-6-With
the teeth clenched, on the highest prominence of the masseter muscle,
approximately one finger-width (middle finger) anterior and superior to
the angle of the jaw. |  |
| T.B.-17-With the patient’s mouth open, in the depression behind the earlobe, between the mastoid process and the mandible. |  |
| T.B.-5-2 cun proximal to the dorsal wrist joint space (‘dorsal wrist crease’), between the radius and the ulna. |  |
