What does Dorsally really mean?

Alright, so "dorsally" is a word that we use to talk about something happening on or relating to the back of an animal or a person. It's kind of like saying "on the back side."

Let's use an example to help understand it better. If you've ever seen a horse or a dog, you might notice that they have different fur or skin on their back compared to their belly. So, we could say that the fur on their back is dorsally located, because it's on their back side.

And, in another example, think about how we sometimes feel tense and tight in our back when we're stressed or when we've been sitting for a long time. In that case, we could say that the tension is dorsally located, because it's happening in our back.

So basically, when we talk about something happening dorsally, it's about the back part of something. It's a word that helps us be more specific about where something is located or happening on an animal or a human.

I hope that helps! Let me know if you have any more questions about it.
