Verified step by step guidance1
Begin by understanding anatomical directional terms. These terms help describe the location of one body part in relation to another.
Identify the position of the pelvis and ribs in the human body. The pelvis is located in the lower part of the torso, while the ribs are situated in the upper part of the torso.
Recall the meaning of 'inferior' in anatomical terms. 'Inferior' refers to a position that is lower or below another part of the body.
Compare the positions of the pelvis and ribs. Since the pelvis is located below the ribs, it is considered 'inferior' to the ribs.
Conclude that the correct anatomical term to describe the position of the pelvis relative to the ribs is 'inferior'.
