Answer:

Superior means above/upper and inferior means below/lower. In a human body the positions are named with respect to the core. The organs above the core i.e. towards the head are termed to be at superior positions and the organs below the core i.e. towards the feet are termed to be at inferior position. Based on this the arrangement of given terms from superior to inferior is

  1. Nasal
  2. Mental
  3. Cervical
  4. Sternal
  5. Lumbar
  6. Coxal
  7. Femoral
  8. Plantar
  9. Tarsal

The word "erural" seem to have been typed incorrectly in the question statement.
