 On the index finger, 0.1 cun from the radial corner of the nail.

On the radial aspect of the index finger, distal to the metacarpophalangeal joint, at the junction of the shaft and the basis of the proximal phalanx.

On the radial aspect of the index finger, proximal to the metacarpo-phalangeal joint, at the junction of the shaft and the head of the 2nd metacarpal bone.

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.
