The ventral fin helps stabilize the fish when it swims close to the riverbed.

The fish's body is dorso-ventrally compressed to reduce resistance while swimming.

The biologist carefully examined the shark's ventral fins to identify signs of injury.

Researchers recorded neural activity in the ventral tegmental area during the reward task.

Recent imaging studies have shown that the ventral tegmental areas are involved in encoding reward prediction errors across different contexts.

During the dissection, the professor pointed out the ventral nerve cord as a major structure of the invertebrate nervous system.

In many annelids, the ventral nerve cords run longitudinally beneath the gut and coordinate locomotion.
