The plane that divides the body into anterior and posterior (ventral and dorsal) portions is called the coronal or frontal plane..
Hope this helps,

Transverse or horizontal plane: It is parallel to the ground and this imaginary plane divide body or its part in to superior (upper) or inferior (lower) parts
The coronal plane is also known as the frontal plane, which divides the body into front and back sections. It is perpendicular to the sagittal plane and horizontal to the transverse plane.

....behind/back and antonym would be anterior - in front/front
Axis
A vertical plane at right angles to a sagittal plane, dividing the body into anterior and posterior portions. Also called frontal plane.
Transverse or horizontal plane: It is parallel to the ground and this imaginary plane divide body or its part in to superior (upper) or inferior (lower) parts
Its Frontal (coronal) plane
The sagittal plane divides the body into left and right portions, not interior and posterior portions. The coronal plane divides the body into anterior and posterior portions.
The body is divided into anterior (front) and posterior (back) portions by the frontal (coronal) plane. This plane runs vertically from side to side and divides the body into front and back halves.
Visualize: Body laying on the back with palms up...what you see is anterior, or the front. What is underneath is considered posterior, or the back.
The sagittal plane, also known as the vertical plane, is the imaginary line that separates anterior from posterior. This plane is referenced when dealing with any anatomical diagram.
A sagittal plane is a plane that passes from posterior to anterior. It divides the body into left and right halves.
Anterior and posterior portions. It divides the body into front and back portions.
The coronal plane divides the body into front and back sections-anterior and posterior.
Frontal plane
The coronal plane is also known as the frontal plane, which divides the body into front and back sections. It is perpendicular to the sagittal plane and horizontal to the transverse plane.
