Anterior or ventral-front (example, the kneecap is located on the anterior side of the leg). Posterior or dorsal-back (example, the shoulder blades are located on the posterior side of the body).
Detailed explanation-2: -Anterior (or ventral) describes the front or direction toward the front of the body. The toes are anterior to the foot. Posterior (or dorsal) describes the back or direction toward the back of the body.
Detailed explanation-3: -Anatomically, there are four main positions: supine, prone, right lateral recumbent, and left lateral recumbent. It is important to note that each position has its medical implications. The supine position requires the face and upper body to be turned upwards in a horizontal position.
