Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -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. However, for certain parts of the body, the uses of “ventral” and “dorsal” differ from the standard definition.
Detailed explanation-2: -The ventral cavity is sometimes referred to as a coelom, or true body cavity.
Detailed explanation-3: -Thus, anterior and posterior indicate front and back; rostral and caudal, toward the head and tail; dorsal and ventral, top and bottom; and medial and lateral, the midline or to the side. Nevertheless, the comparison between these coordinates in the body versus the brain can be confusing.
