Answer:

The heart is superior to the stomach and inferior to the brain.

Step-by-step explanation:

The heart is located in the thorax, inferiorly respect the head and the brain. Its specific location is behind the sternum and in front of the esophagus, aorta and vertebral column. The heart is also located above the diaphragm, a muscle that separates the thoracic and abdominal cavities. As the stomach is located in the abdominal cavities, the heart is superior to the stomach.
