Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the directional terms used in anatomy: 'Superior' means above, 'Inferior' means below, 'Anterior' means toward the front, and 'Posterior' means toward the back.
Identify the location of the parietal lobe in the human cerebrum. The parietal lobe is located above the temporal lobe, near the top of the brain.
Identify the location of the temporal lobe in the human cerebrum. The temporal lobe is located on the sides of the brain, below the parietal lobe.
Compare the relative positions of the parietal lobe and the temporal lobe. Since the parietal lobe is above the temporal lobe, the correct directional term is 'Superior.'
Conclude that the term 'Superior' best describes the location of the parietal lobe relative to the temporal lobe in the human cerebrum.
