Which term indicates a position lower on the body, farther from the head?

The term that indicates a position lower on the body, farther from the head, is "inferior." In anatomical terminology, "inferior" refers to structures that are located below or towards the feet relative to another structure. For example, the stomach is inferior to the heart, meaning it is situated lower in the body.

In contrast, "superior" refers to a position that is higher or closer to the head, which makes it unsuitable for describing a lower position. "Distal" and "proximal" are terms that are relative to a point of reference, typically used to describe the location of limbs, with "distal" indicating a point farther from the trunk or a point of attachment and "proximal" indicating a point closer to the trunk or attachment point. Therefore, these terms do not precisely address the concept of vertical positioning in relation to the head and feet.
