Large Intestine Flashcards
LI-1
On the dorsal aspect of the index finger, on the radial side of the nail, at the junction of lines drawn along the radial border of the nail and the base of the nail, approximately .1 cun from the corner of the nail
LI-2
On the radial border of the index finger, in a depression just distal to the metacarpo-phalangeal joint
LI-3
On the radial side of the index finger, in the substantial depression proximal to the head of the 2nd metacarpal bone
LI-4
On the dorsum of the hand, between the 1st and 2nd metacarpal bones, at the midpoint of the 2nd metacarpal bone, close to its radial border
Location note: ask patient to squeeze the thumb against the base of the Index finger and locate LI-4 at the highest point of the bulge of the muscle and approximately level with the end of the crease
LI-5
Hitchhiker thumb, “anatomical snuff box”
LI-6
3 cun proximal to LI-5 on the line connecting LI-5 with LI-11
LI-7
5 cun proximal to LI-5 on the line connecting LI-5 with LI-11
LI-8
4 cun distal to LI-11, on the line connecting LI-11 with LI-5
LI-9
On the radial side of the forearm, 3 cun distal to LI-11, on the line connecting LI-11 with LI-5
LI-10
On the radial side of the forearm, 2 cun distal to LI-11, on the line connecting LI-11 with LI-5
LI-11
At the elbow, midway between LU-5 and the lateral epicondyle of the humerus, at the lateral end of the transverse cubital crease
LI-12
When the elbow is flexed, this point is located in the depression 1 cun proximal and 1 cun lateral to LI-11
