Exteriodorsal

Exteriodorsal is an anatomical term used to describe a position or direction relative to the body's exterior and dorsal (back) surface. It is often used in the context of describing the location of structures or movements in relation to these two surfaces. For example, the exteriodorsal surface of the hand refers to the outer side of the back of the hand. Similarly, exteriodorsal movements involve actions that occur on the outer side of the back of a body part, such as the exteriodorsal rotation of the forearm, which is a movement that rotates the forearm outward and away from the midline of the body. This term is particularly useful in anatomy and physiology for precise descriptions of body positions and movements.
