caudal

"Caudal" is a term used in anatomy to refer to a position toward the tail or lower end of the body. In humans, it means closer to the feet or the back of the head, depending on the context. It's often used to describe locations in the spine or body parts relative to each other. For example, the lower back is considered more caudal than the upper back. The term helps healthcare professionals communicate precisely about body structure, especially in medical and biological settings.
