Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The brain is superior to the spinal cord. The brain is the organ located at the top of the body and the spinal cord extends down from the base of the brain. Because the brain is located above the spinal cord, it is described as superior. The spinal cord is then inferior to the brain.
Detailed explanation-2: -The part of the skull where the brain sits is called the cranium. The base, or lower part, of the brain is connected to the spinal cord. Together, the brain and spinal cord are known as the central nervous system (CNS). Many nerves send electrical signals to and from the brain and spinal cord.
