When discussing embryology, the term superior is replaced with cranial, and the term inferior is replaced with caudal.
These terms are sometimes also used generally when discussing anatomy to replace superior and inferior.
The directional term that describes the nipples and umbilicus is "ventral". This means they are located on the front side of the body.
The directional term for the sternum to the vertebral column is anterior. This means that the sternum is located in front of or toward the front of the vertebral column in anatomical position.
The directional term that means farthest from the midline is "lateral." Lateral refers to a position or direction that is further away from the midline of the body or a structure.
The directional term opposite of anterior is posterior. Anterior refers to the front of the body, while posterior refers to the back. These terms are commonly used in anatomy to describe the location of structures relative to each other.
The directional term for the ears in relation to the head is "lateral." This means that the ears are positioned on the sides of the head, away from the midline. In anatomical terms, lateral refers to structures that are farther from the center of the body or a given reference point.
The directional term from groin to buttock is "inferior" or "caudal."

It depends on what you mean by "below." If you are talking about the area toward the feet (i.e. gallbladder is "below" the liver) the correct terms would be "inferior to" or "sub-" (the gallbladder is subhepatic). If you are referring to a situation where the patient is in the supine position and "below" means more toward the back, the correct terms would be "posterior to," "dorsal to," or "retro-" (the kidneys are retroperitoneal).
