anterior

"Anterior" is a term used in anatomy to describe the front part of the body or structure. For example, the chest is anterior to the back, and the stomach is anterior to the spine. It helps medical professionals specify locations and directions when discussing the body. Think of it as the "front side," but it’s used relative to anatomy, not just what you see directly in front of you. This term helps ensure clear communication about where things are situated within the body.
