General Information
Term dorsal/ventral axis specification ID (Ontology) GO:0009950 (Gene Ontology)
Definition The establishment, maintenance and elaboration of the dorsal/ventral axis. The dorsal/ventral axis is defined by a line that runs orthogonal to both the anterior/posterior and left/right axes. The dorsal end is defined by the upper or back side of an organism. The ventral end is defined by the lower or front side of an organism.
Also Known As "dorsal-ventral axis specification" ; "dorsoventral axis specification"
