NCCAOM Acupuncture Board Practice Exam

The point located just superior to the medial end of the popliteal crease is Liv-8, also known as Ququan. This point is considered to be an important location for the Liver channel as it is situated near the knee and relates to actions such as nourishing Blood and regulating Liver Qi.

Liv-8 is found in a fossa just above the medial aspect of the knee joint, which corresponds to the described location of being superior to the popliteal crease. This anatomical relationship is crucial for practitioners performing acupuncture, as precise location is key to effective treatment.

In contrast, Liv-3, Liv-4, and Ren-1 have different anatomic placements and functions. Liv-3 is located on the foot, Liv-4 is found on the lower leg, and Ren-1 is situated at the perineum. As such, while they are all relevant points in Chinese medicine, they do not fulfill the location requirement outlined in the question.
