In anatomy, the anterior position refers to the front of the body, while the ventral position refers to the belly side of the body.
Ventral orientation position is when an organism or structure is facing downwards towards the ground or belly side. This position is commonly used in anatomical and biological descriptions to indicate the position or orientation of an organism relative to other structures or the external environment.
The ventral or anterior aspect of the foot is located on the bottom of the foot. Think of it as the palm of the hand is the ventral/anterior part of the hand in anatomical position to help you remember.

The ventral side of a worm refers to its underside, which is typically oriented towards the ground when the worm is in its natural position. This side usually features a smoother surface and may have a lighter coloration compared to the dorsal side, which faces upward. The ventral side is important for locomotion, as it contains structures that help the worm move through soil and other substrates. In many worms, the ventral side also houses openings for the reproductive and excretory systems.
