A dorsiventral (Lat. dorsum, "the back", venter, "the belly") organ is: one that has two surfaces differing from each other in appearance. And structure, as an ordinary leaf. This term has also been used as a synonym for dorsoventral organs, those that extend from a dorsal——to a ventral surface. This word is also used——to define body structure of an organism, "e."g. flatworm have dorsiventrally flattened bodies.
