Detailed explanation-1: -Superior (or cranial) describes a position above or higher than another part of the body proper. The orbits are superior to the oris. Inferior (or caudal) describes a position below or lower than another part of the body proper; near or toward the tail (in humans, the coccyx, or lowest part of the spinal column).
Detailed explanation-2: -English. The term superior means uppermost, above, or toward the head.
Detailed explanation-3: -Superior and inferior: These terms reference the body’s vertical axis, and a body part higher than another or above it is said to be superior to it; conversely, the other body part is inferior to the first. So the head is superior to the neck, the neck is superior to the torso, and the torso is superior to the legs.
