What are the three sectional planes?
1. Transverse 2. Frontal 3. Sagittal
41
Transverse plane
(Horizontal plane). Cut at a right angle to the long axis of the body, dividing the superior and inferior portions.
42
Coronal Plane
Frontal plane. Parallel to the long axis of the body. Divides the anterior and posterior.
43
Sagittal plane
Parallel to the long axis of the body. Divides the into left and right portions.
44
Midsagittal
Divides the body into equal right and left halves.
45
Parasagittal
Divides body into unequal right and left portions
46
Anterior
front surface
47
Posterior
Dorsal. Back surface
48
Ventral
The belly side (equivalent to anterior on human body)
49
Cephalic
Cranial; portions of the body closer to the head
50
Superior
above; cephalic on the head on the human body.
51
Inferior
Below; away from the head on the human body
52
Medial
Towards the midsagittal plane
53
Lateral
Away from the midsagittal plane
54
Proximal
Towards and attached base (i.e. thigh is proximal to the foot)
55
Distal
Away from an attached base (i.e. fingers are distal to the wrist).
56
Superficial
At, near, or relatively close to the body surface
57
Deep
Farther from the body surface
