Cool What bullet does "No JVD" fall under

Is no JVD a bullet? Not a bullet? Does anyone know and if so, which bullet it is? I'm thinking that it should be the external inspection of the neck, but is that correct? Thanks.

Under 97 General Multi System exam it is not a bullet. Under the Cardiovascular Single System exam it is, under Neck.

On the specific Cardiovascular Examination, it is a bullet under Neck - Examination of jugular veins (eg, distension; a, v or cannon a waves).
