What is a motor point?

  1. A blemish on the skin

  2. A point on the skin where pressure causes contraction of the underlying muscle

  3. The highest point of muscle tension

  4. A point of minimal skin sensitivity

The correct answer is: A point on the skin where pressure causes contraction of the underlying muscle

A motor point is a specific area on the skin where pressure can cause a contraction of the underlying muscle. This is because the motor nerves responsible for controlling that muscle are located in that particular area. It is different from a blemish on the skin (option A) because it is not a physical flaw or imperfection. It is also not the highest point of muscle tension (option C) as that would refer to the peak strength of a muscle during contraction. Option D, a point of minimal skin sensitivity, is also incorrect as a motor point is not necessarily an area with low sensitivity, but rather an area with a strong connection to the underlying muscle.
