Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the anatomical terms: 'lateral' means away from the midline of the body, 'medial' means towards the midline, and 'superior' (or 'cranial') means towards the head.
Identify the position of the navel (belly button) and the chin on the human body. The navel is located on the midline of the body, while the chin is also on the midline but higher up.
Compare the relative positions: Since both the navel and the chin are on the midline, neither is lateral or medial to each other.
Determine the vertical relationship: The chin is located above the navel, making it superior (cranial) to the navel.
Conclude that the correct statement is: 'The chin is superior (cranial) to the navel.'
