THORAX ABDOMEN AND PELVIS

Detailed explanation-1: -Such terms include posterior or dorsal, which means towards the back of the body, or proximal and distal, which describe how close or far away something is, respectively. The standard anatomical position creates clear points of reference which help to avoid confusion when using anatomical terms.

Detailed explanation-2: -On a human body, dorsal (i.e., posterior) refers to the back portion of the body, whereas ventral (i.e., anterior) refers to the front part of the body. The terms dorsal and ventral are also often used to describe the relative location of a body part.

Detailed explanation-3: -Thus, with regard to anterior or posterior, the anatomical equivalent of dorsal is posterior. Since posterior means ‘opposite the direction of movement’, its body part equivalent is the dorsal side of the body.
