Directional terms are read differently than other medical terms.  We go back to the way we use English with directional terms and read them from front to back. Examples

anteroposterior  =  Front to back or referring to the front and the back

superoanterior   =  Above and to the front or referring to the above and front or towards the above and front.

inferoposterior   = Below and to the back or referring to the below and back or towards below and to the back.

dorsoventral      =  back side to belly side or back side and belly side or towards the back and belly sides.

mediolateral       = Middle of the side or towards the middle of the side

The ending that mean pertaining to or referring to can be use also to show direction usually towards a structure, as in the following:

Cephalic = Towards the head, because the cephalic artery is in the neck and moves blood into the head or it may be read pertaining to the head.

Renal  = Towards the kidney, because the renal artery comes off the aorta and moves blood to the kidney or may be read pertaining to the kidney

Anterior = may be read as towards the front or pertaining to the front.

Posterior = may be read as towards the back or pertaining to the back

Lateral  = may be read toward the side or pertaining to the side.

Medial = may be read towards the midline or pertaining to the midline.
