Detailed explanation-2: -In general, ventral refers to the front of the body, and dorsal refers to the back. These terms are also known as anterior and posterior, respectively.

Detailed explanation-3: -The main difference between dorsal and ventral is that dorsal refers to the back or upper side of an organism whereas ventral refers to the front or lower side. These are two anatomical terms used to describe the location of structures of the body in anatomy and embryology.

Detailed explanation-4: -The dorsal term has been derived from a Latin word ‘dorsum’ meaning ‘back’. Therefore, it refers to the surface to the back or upper side of an organism. In leaves, the side facing against the sun having less number of chlorophyll, i.e., lower surface is the dorsal side.
