most simply dorsal = back side and ventral = or front side. This may vary depending on the morphology of the specific species you're looking at (i.e. back and front could mean top and bottom). An easy way to determine the dorsal side is asking yourself what side is closest to the spine, or the notochord etc. if not a vertebrate. In contrast, coming from the Latin word "venter" meaning belly; the ventral side contains the abdomen or digestive tract.
