The gluteal watershed is located in the anterior thigh; beginning at the top of the anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS), running down the back of the thigh, and ending at the popliteal fossa.

• A. True
• B. Cannot determine
• C. Not applicable
• D. False

Answer: (D)

In manual lymph drainage, a watershed line marks where lymph drainage territories meet, guiding how you direct lymphatic pumps. The gluteal watershed sits across the buttock area and the upper posterior thigh, marking the boundary of drainage patterns in that region. It is not in the anterior thigh and it does not extend down to the popliteal fossa. The description that places the watershed starting at the ASIS (anterior pelvis) and running along the back of the thigh to the knee is not correct for the gluteal region, hence the statement is false.
