Lone Star Posted April 23, 2009 Author Share Posted April 23, 2009 Don't think of superior/inferior being in reference to the head. It is much simpler than that. Superior means something is above something else and inferior means something is below something else. Therefore the mouth is inferior to the nose. I realize that 'superior' means 'above' and 'inferior' means 'below'... I was working off the definitions that were supplied by the book, and why I had a problem with their usage. Being as this ain't My first 'go around' with EMT-B class (like I said, I'm only doing this to get relicensed and move on to medic), this could prove confusing to the new students.
