inferior

In medical and anatomical terms, "inferior" describes a position that is lower or below another part of the body. For example, the stomach is inferior to the lungs because it is situated below them. It is a relative term used to give precise directions or locations within the body, especially when describing the positions of organs or structures. This term helps healthcare professionals communicate clearly about where something is located in relation to other parts, ensuring accurate diagnosis, treatment, and understanding of anatomy.
