Q

an imaginary flat surface that separates two portions of the body or an organ

A

plane

57
Q

or “coronal plane” or “frontal/coronal section” is a cut made along the body that divides it into anterior & posterior parts

A

frontal plane

58
Q

“horizontal plane” or “transverse section” is a cut made along the body that divides it into superior & inferior parts.

A

transverse plane

59
Q

literally a cut with any type of angle other than a horizontal or vertical angle.

A

Oblique plane

60
Q

an off-center vertical plane that divides a portion of a body into right and left sides.

A

parasagittal plane

61
Q

generally, “sagittal plane” or “sagittal section” is a vertical plane in the center of the body that divides the body or an organ into right and left sides.

contains the central nervous system, & consists of the cranial cavity and the vertebral or spinal cavity. No wall or boundary separates its subdivisions.

A

dorsal cavity

67
Q

contains the thoracic cavity and the abdomino-pelvic cavity which are both separated by the diaphragm. Organs inside these cavities are called viscera
