The back of the hand, i.e. not the palm, is called the Dorsum. The same word is used to refer to the top of the foot, i.e. not the sole. Incorrect to reffer to the dorsum of the foot as the back as it is clearly continuous with the front of the leg.Well, ^ is technically correct. The back of your hand is called a dorsum. But that's not the name. If you look up dorsum, it just tells you its the dorsal part of the structure. The actualnamed part of the back of the hand is the opisthenard
"Skin on dorsum left wrist" refers to the skin located on the back (dorsal side) of the left wrist.

The top of the foot is the dorsum of the foot.However dorsum is a synonym for top or back, therefore any body part can have a dorsum, in fact every body has a dorsum - as it is a synonym for back.The word dorsum on its own - without a qualifying "of the foot" would mean a person's back.There is no single word for the 'top' or 'dorsum of the foot' like there is for the bottom of the foot i.e. sole. The word 'sole' represents the entire meaning "bottom of the foot", whereas if one used dorsum one would have to qualify what dorsum one was referring to - i.e. dorsum of the foot. That is probably due to common usage as one can also use sole to describe the underneath of other body parts, objects. If we had the need to refer to the top of our feet as much as we need to refer to the soles of our feet, then it is very likely that the word dorsum, like the word sole, would have no need of the qualifying "of the foot" as it would be implied and understood.
dorsum
The key differences between the dorsum and ventral sides of an organism's body are their locations and functions. The dorsum is the upper or back side of the body, while the ventral side is the lower or front side. The dorsum typically protects vital organs and provides support, while the ventral side is often involved in activities such as feeding and movement.
