Question

How do we divide our bodies three-dimensionally? (Anatomical Planes)

Answer 1

Answer:

There are three planes commonly used; sagittal, coronal and transverse. Sagittal plane – a vertical line which divides the body into a left section and a right section

The sagittal plane or lateral plane (longitudinal, anteroposterior) is a plane parallel to the sagittal suture. It divides the body into left and right.

The coronal plane or frontal plane (vertical) divides the body into dorsal and ventral (back and front, or posterior and anterior) portions.

The transverse plane or axial plane (horizontal) divides the body into cranial and caudal (head and tail) portions.
