"Anterior" means 'nearer to the front'. The anterior region of the body is the region that includes the parts that are nearer to the front, like toes and eyes.
"Posterior" means 'further back in position'. The posterior region of the body is the region that includes the parts whose position is further back, like buttocks and heels.
The terms anterior and posterior are directional terms used in anatomy to describe the location of structures within the human body. The anterior region, also called ventral, refers to the front of the body or a direction toward the front of the body. For example, the toes are considered anterior to the foot. Conversely, the posterior region, also known as dorsal, indicates the back of the body or a direction toward the back of the body, with the popliteus muscle being posterior to the patella.
In anatomical terms, these regions help medical professionals and students describe the precise locations of body structures. This is crucial when considering body planes such as the sagittal, frontal, and transverse planes, and the bodily cavities, which are separated into the dorsal (posterior) and ventral (anterior) cavities. These cavities are further subdivided and contain major organs. For instance, the posterior cavity houses the brain and the spinal cord, while the anterior cavity houses organs such as the lungs, heart, and abdominopelvic organs.
Anterior refers to the front part of the body, while posterior refers to the back part. These terms help describe the location of body parts in relation to one another. They are important for studying anatomy and performing medical assessments.

Dalam sejarah Islam, babi dilarang untuk dimakan karena jelas disebutkan dalam Al-Qur’an bahwa daging babi termasuk makanan yang haram. Allah SWT berfirman dalam beberapa ayat, seperti QS. Al-Baqarah: 173, QS. Al-Ma’idah: 3, QS. Al-An’am: 145, dan QS. An-Nahl: 115, yang intinya melarang kaum Muslimin memakan bangkai, darah, daging babi, dan hewan yang disembelih bukan atas nama Allah.Alasan pelarangannya antara lain karena babi dianggap najis dan tidak baik bagi kesehatan, serta sebagai bentuk ketaatan hamba kepada perintah Allah, yang mengetahui apa yang terbaik bagi makhluk-Nya.
