Place your hands on your hips, so that they are resting on the superior surface (top) of your hip bones, with your thumbs pointed towards your back. If you slide your hands towards your back, when your thumbs meet, that is approximately the level of the spinous process of the 3rd or 4th lumbar vertebrae.

Is the cervical spine inferior to the lumbar spine?

No.The cervical spine is in the neck and is above the lumbar spine, which is in the low back. Because we reference things from anatomical position, which is standing upright, and because the term "inferior" is used to denote things that are below, that statement would be incorrect. Therefore, we could correctly say the cervical spine is superior, or rostral, to the lumbar spine. We could also say that the lumbar spine is inferior, or caudal, to the cervical spine.
