19
Q

What are axial and abaxial used to describe?

A

features on a limb

20
Q

Close to the axis of the limb?

A

Axial e.g horses have two toes, the inside of the two toes would be axial

21
Q

Away from the axis of the limb?

A

Abaxial e.g. a horse has two toes (hoof section is split) and the outside of those toes would be considered abaxial.

22
Q

What plane divides the animal in two, separating left from right

A

Sagittal plane

23
Q

If the sagittal plane runs along the midline then what is it called?

A

Median plane

24
Q

What plane divides the animal front from back? Essentially a cross section

A

Transverse plane

25
Q

What plane divides the animal top from bottom?

A

Dorsal plane
