what are the planes of the body?
lateral, horizontal, vertical, longitudinal, anterior, and cross-section.

what is dorsal surface anatomy?
something at the back (dorsal) or front / belly (ventral) of an organism. The dorsal (from Latin dorsum, meaning 'back') surface of an organism refers to the back, or upper side, of an organism.

what are the parts of organs?
the brain, liver, lungs, bladder, kidneys, heart, stomach, intestines.

what are the dorsal surface anatomy terms?
The dorsal (from Latin dorsum, meaning 'back') surface of an organism refers to the back, or upper side, of an organism. If talking about the skull, the dorsal side is the top. The ventral (from Latin venter, meaning 'belly') surface refers to the front, or lower side, of an organism.

what are the anatomic positions?
- Anterior: Front, or toward the front.
- Posterior: Back, or toward the back.
- Dorsal: Back, or toward the back (think of a whale's dorsal fin)
- Ventral: Front, or toward the front (think of an air vent)
- Lateral: On the side, or toward the side.
- Medial/median: Middle, or toward the middle.
