Bone Measurement

bbsadmin

Dear Dr. David King

I'm getting on with my first lesson on " A brief introduction of Acupuncture and moxibustion".

I have doubts about the section on : " From the apex of the axilla to the free end of the 11th rib (Zhangman, LR13) ~ 12 cun, longitudinal measurement." Whereas, "from the anterior and posterior axilla folds to the cubital creaste ~ 9 cun , longitudinal measurement." If I am not wrong for me to say that the cubital creaste is about the same alignment with the Zhangman, LR13. If that is the case, the measurement of the former should be about the same i.e. 9 cun. or slightly more and it can't be 3 cun more.

My observation can be wrong. Your kind comment is sought, please.

Cordial regards.
