| medial |
referring to the midline of the body (or, occasionally, the midline of some other reference point). For example, the heart is medial to the ribs; and a biped must place its limbs medially when walking. Note, however, that a medial view is a view from the midline, looking outward. Opposite of lateral. The terms axial and radial are usually (not always) equivalent to medial and lateral, respectively. See medial for a discussion of related terms.

| median |
the midpoint in a series of numbers; half the data values are above the median, and half are below. For example, in the odd series 1, 4, 9, 12 and 33, 9 is the median. In the even series 1, 4, 10, 12, 33 and 88, 11 is the median (halfway between 9 and 12). Note, the median is not necessarily the same as the AVERAGE (or mean). For example, the median of 2, 6, 10, 22 and 40 is 10 but the average is 18.
