Dorsal, Posterior (Dorsal)

Dorsal or posterior is a term relating to the back or located on or near the back or at the back of any organ.

The dorsal part of the body is opposite to the ventral (abdominal) part. For example, the human back is the dorsal part, and the stomach is the ventral part.

In anatomy, dorsal is used to describe structures located toward the back or back of an organ. For example, the dorsal surface of the hand is located on the back side, closer to the forearm.

This term is also used to describe nerves, blood vessels, muscles and other anatomical structures. The dorsal roots of the spinal nerves arise from the back of the spinal cord. The dorsal aorta is the posterior artery that runs along the spine.

Thus, dorsal or posterior indicates the location of the structure on the dorsal side of the body or towards the back of the organ. This term is widely used in anatomy to accurately describe the location of various parts of the body.

Dorsal, posterior (lat. dorsalis - “dorsal”) - one of the main binaries, that is, those in which two words refer to the same side of the body or are close to it. These words indicate the location of a thing relative to the body. They are formed from the participle of the verb doro, meaning “to squeeze,” “to squeeze,” “to choke,” and derived from the verb duco, meaning “to lead back.” From the Greek analogue of the Latin term “dorso” and “posterior—” come. For example, when we say “dorsal spinal cord” or “posterior diencephalon.” This is part of anatomical terminology

Dorsal - the rear portion of something.

This term is used in anatomy to refer to the posterior region of organs and body parts located on or near the spine. The dorsal direction runs along the spine from top to bottom, it is opposite to the ventral direction, corresponding to the direction from bottom to top. This direction is used to describe body parts and organs. Also, dorsal is the name of the muscles of the back or lower back, and not the rear part of the body. In the case of spinal muscles, the term dorsal is applied from the Latin root meaning back (dorsus), that is, the area covered with tough skin directly behind the spine.

In physiology, dorsal means
