Superior: The lung is above the diaphragm; above is described as…
Anterior: Toward the front (the belly surface); another word is ventral.
Matching: regional Terms
Axillary: Armpit.
Patellar: Kneecap area.
Sternal: Breastbone area.
Antecubital: Front part of the elbow area.
Flank: Fleshy area along the side between the ribs and the hip bone.
Oral: Pertaining to the mouth.
Lumbar: Lower back area extending from the chest to the hips.
Buccal: Pertains to the space between the cheek and the gum.
Inguinal: Groin region.
