The posterior point at T5 Transverse Process on the right corresponds to which organ?

Chapman points are a somatic mapping used in osteopathic practice: posterior points lie near the transverse processes and indicate the organ on the same side. The liver is mapped to the right side at the T5 transverse process, so a posterior point at that location corresponds to the liver. This reflects the liver’s anatomical position beneath the right thoracic region.
