The ears are both superior (above) and medial (closer to the mid-line) to the shoulders.
Left
To the left of the body (not your left, the subject's). The stomach is to the left of the liver.
Right
To the right of the body or structure being studied. The right kidney is damaged.
Lateral
Toward the side; away from the midsagittal plane. The eyes are lateral to the nose.
Medial
Toward the midsagittal plane; away from the side. The eyes are medial to the ears.
Anterior
Toward the front of the body. The nose is on the anterior of the head.
Posterior
Toward the back (rear). The heel is posterior to the head.
Superior
Toward the top of the body. The shoulders are superior to the hips.
Inferior
Toward the bottom of the body. The stomach is inferior to the heart.
Dorsal
Along (or toward) the vertebral surface of the body. Her scar is along the dorsal surface.
Ventral
Along (toward) the belly surface of the body. The navel is on the ventral surface.
Caudad (caudal)
Toward the tail. The neck is caudad to the skull.
Cephalad
Toward the head. The neck is cephalad to the tail.
Proximal
Toward the point of attachment (describes relative position in a limb or other appendage). The ankle joint is proximal to the toenail.
Distal
Away from the point of attachment. The big toe is distal to the ankle.

What is the name of the distal expansion of the tibia?
medial malleolus
What is the distal medial process of the humerus?
The trochlea is the medial process of the humerus. The humerus articulates with the ulna at the trochlea.
Is the hand lateral to the wrist?
No. When the body is in the anatomical position, the thumb is further away from the midline. You say that the thumb is lateral to the ring finger.
What does the medial mallelous do?
It is located at the distal end of the tibia and articulates with the ankle. It provides medial support to your ankle.
What is the correct term for the process at the distal end of the tibia that forms the medial bump of the ankle?
the medial malleolus
What is located on the distal aspect of the humerus?
The medial and lateral epicondyles are located on the distal apsect of the humerus. The distal humerus articulates with the radius and ulna.
Distal process on medial tibial surface?
The distal process on the medial tibial surface is also known as the medial malleolus. It is a bony prominence located on the inner side of the ankle joint where the tibia articulates with the talus bone of the foot. The medial malleolus helps stabilize the ankle joint and provides attachment points for ligaments that support the joint.
Is the head distal or proximal to the shoulders?
Proximal
