Relating to or involving both the back and the abdomen.
From Latin dorsum (back) + abdominal (relating to the belly). Combines two adjacent anatomical regions to describe structures or pathways between them. Medical terminology from the 19th century.
Some organs like the kidneys are considered dorsoabdominal because they sit behind the regular belly organs, tucked between the back muscles and intestines—they're literally in the back part of your abdominal cavity!
