What are the dorsal and ventral surfaces on humans?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Anatomic Position: During the study of Human Anatomy, it is important to understand what "anatomic position" is. Anatomic position is when a human is facing forward, with the arms an hands at the side, with the palms facing forward. Everything in the front in anatomic position is anterior, in back posterior. The dorsoventral axis is used in vertebrate anatomy.
