Located toward or relating to both the front and the upper back surface of the body or an organism.
From Latin 'antero-' (front, forward) combined with 'dorsal' from 'dorsum' (back). Commonly used in anatomy and zoology to describe precise spatial locations.
Scientists needed this word to describe exactly where structures sit on organisms—saying 'toward the front-top' is way too vague when you're mapping an animal's anatomy under a microscope!
