In anatomical terms, "superior" means above. The heart is located above the large intestine. "Distal" means farther from the attachment point, so the shoulder is proximal (closer) to the body's mid - line compared to the metacarpals. "Proximal" means closer to the attachment point, and the phalanges are distal to the carpals. "Medial" means toward the mid - line, and the nose is medial to the eye.
