AK Meridian & Energy System Assessment 1 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: In Applied Kinesiology, which muscle is most commonly associated with the Liver meridian?
- Subscapularis
- Pectoralis major (sternal) (Correct answer)
- Anterior deltoid
- Psoas
Correct answer: Pectoralis major (sternal)
The pectoralis major (sternal division) is the primary indicator muscle for the Liver meridian in standard AK protocols.
Question 2: Which muscle is the primary AK indicator for the Kidney meridian?
- Tibialis anterior
- Quadriceps
- Psoas (Correct answer)
- Subscapularis
Correct answer: Psoas
The psoas (and iliacus) are the established indicator muscles for the Kidney meridian in Applied Kinesiology.
Question 3: How many bilateral organ meridians are assessed in the Traditional Chinese Medicine framework used within Applied Kinesiology?
- 8
- 10
- 12 (Correct answer)
- 14
Correct answer: 12
There are 12 primary organ meridians (6 yin and 6 yang) that AK practitioners assess using muscle indicator testing.
Question 4: The Bladder meridian in AK is most commonly evaluated using which muscle?
- Sartorius
- Tibialis anterior (Correct answer)
- Gracilis
- Gluteus medius
Correct answer: Tibialis anterior
Tibialis anterior is the standard indicator muscle for the Bladder meridian in AK assessment protocols.
Question 5: In AK, which muscle is associated with the Heart meridian?
- Psoas
- Anterior deltoid
- Subscapularis (Correct answer)
- Latissimus dorsi
Correct answer: Subscapularis
The subscapularis is the AK indicator muscle for the Heart meridian, linking shoulder internal rotation to cardiac meridian function.
Question 6: According to AK meridian theory, the Stomach meridian is most closely associated with which muscle?
- Subscapularis and psoas
- Pectoralis major (clavicular) and brachioradialis (Correct answer)
- Tibialis anterior and peroneus
- Gluteus medius and teres minor
Correct answer: Pectoralis major (clavicular) and brachioradialis
The pectoralis major (clavicular division) and brachioradialis are the primary indicator muscles for the Stomach meridian in AK.
Question 7: Which muscle is the standard AK indicator for the Spleen-Pancreas meridian?
- Quadriceps
- Latissimus dorsi (Correct answer)
- Tibialis posterior
- Coracobrachialis
Correct answer: Latissimus dorsi
The latissimus dorsi is the established indicator muscle for the Spleen-Pancreas meridian in Applied Kinesiology.
