More Information about: ventral
Term ventral
Explanation 1. Located on the venter. For legs this means that these are considered as if they were in the position as given in the illustration. So, even if a leg is pointing upwards in a specimen, one should image that the leg was positioned in a horizontal plane, perpendicular to the body axis.

2. Located in a more position towards the venter. For example, a seta can be located ventral to another seta.

Opposite: dorsal.

Fortunately Pfft the leg flexes (bends) in the dorsoventral plane so the legs dorsum and ventrum are easily identified. The periphery
(outside) of a transverse section is then divided into eight imaginary parts, which (looking down the leg towards the body read in the direction of a clock)
dorsal
postero-dorsal
posterior
postero-ventral
ventral
antero-ventral
anterior
antero-dorsal
