Q

Name and describe the planes of the body

A
  • Median Plane (Mid-sagittal):
    Divides the body into right/left halves
    Sagittal and Parasagittal are parallel to the mid-sagittal (not equally divided)
  • Frontal Plane (Coronal):
    Divides the body into anterior (front) and posterior (back) portions
  • Transverse Plane (Horizontal):
    Divides body into superior (upper) and inferior (lower) parts
  • Oblique Plane:
    Divides the cross section at an angle (not a common view)
