The left side of the heart is the ventral surface on a sheep's heart. Look for the ventral grooves to identify it.
squeeze each half of the heart, the left will feel much firmer and more muscular than the right
hope that helped :)
Frogs usually have a dark green or brown dorsal color and a white or yellowish ventral color. This helps them blend in with the water surface from above and the water surface from below as well giving protection from underwater and above water predators.
It helps them camouflage itself from predators. Although the answer above is true, here is a more informative answer. The bottom of the frog is a lighter color then the top. This is because if the frog is floating on top of the water, and prey or a predator looks up and the frog, the suns glare makes the frog harder to see. Also, there are darker splotches on the bottom so it doesn't show the silhouette for the frog. the top of the frog is darker because when swimming at the bottom of a murky lake, it blends in with the bottom.
ventral is from the base view. so imagine a dog standing up. Dorsal would be looking down onto its back and ventral would be lokking up towards its tummy from the ground.

Planaria ingest food through a flexible tube-like pharynx that it can stick out from the middle of it's ventral side. The mouth is located at the end of this tube. The planaria sucks food in through this tube.
The Aorta goes towards the back.
Ventral is the belly side. Dorsal is the back. ventral also known as the anterior surface
Yes. Ventral can mean closer to the abdomen, below or the bottom surface of an object such as ventral surface of the tongue (bottom side).
The bottom surface of a starfish (sea star) is referred to as the oral or actinal surface. The top side is referred to as the aboral or abactinal side.
The bottom surface of a starfish (sea star) is referred to as the oral or actinal surface. The top side is referred to as the aboral or abactinal side.
Simply put, it's the "bacK". The belly side is "ventral", the upper or back side is "dorsal".
The dorsal side of an earthworm is darker than the ventral side. This is because of the dorsal blood vessal that runs along the top of the digestive track and just under the skin. There is a ventral blood vessel, but it doesn't lie against the skin, but instead in between the ventral nerve cord and the digestive track.
The lower surface of a starfish is technically called the ventral side. This is where both the mouth and stomach is located on the starfish.
The ventral side is the bottom. the side where you see all the tentacles.
For animals in general : the anterior (as opposed to posterior) For mammals : the forequarters (as opposed to the hindquarters) For insects : head and thorax (as opposed to the abdomen)
The ventral side is lighter than the dorsal.
The anterior side of the body is the front, or the ventral.
