is a term that describe CR angles or relationships between both parts often are related to imaginary planes that pass through the body in the anatomic position.
Body Planes
is a reference position that defines specific surfaces and planes of the body. The anatomic position describes the body in erect feet together straight ahead, arms slightly abducted with palms facing forward.
Anatomic Position
anatomic position describes the body
in erect feet together straight ahead, arms slightly abducted with palms facing forward
is the plane which divides the body into equal right and left halves.
Median or Mid-Sagittal plane
is any longitudinal plane that divides the body into right and left portion
Sagittal Plane
Horizontal Plane is any transverse plane that passes through the body at right angles to a longitudinal plane dividing the body into superior and inferior portion. It is perpendicular to both WHAT
frontal and median plane.
is any plane that transects the pelvis at the top of the iliac crests at the level of the 4th spinous process (L4).
Inter-Iliac Plane
divides the body into approximately equal anterior and posterior portion
Mid-Coronal Plane
is any longitudinal plane that divides the body into anterior and posterior portion. It is a vertical plane at right angle to median plane. It is also known as frontal plane.
Coronal Plane
is any plane that can pass through a body part at any angles between three planes.
Oblique Plane
is any transverse plane that passes through the body at right angles to a longitudinal plane dividing the body into superior and inferior portion. It is perpendicular to both frontal and median plane.
Horizontal Plane
LEFT HYPOCHONDRIAC INCLUDES:
Descending colon, liver, left kidney, small intestine, spleen, stomach and transverse colon
The 4 abdominal quadrants have very easy lines to remember. One line is vertical and it is on the midline, which divides
the body into left and right
umbilical INCLUDES:
Cisterna chyli, pancreas, r & l kidneys, r &l ureters, smal intestine, stomach, and transverse colon
Thoracic area: T4, T5
level of sternal angle
Inter-Iliac Plane is any plane that transects the pelvis at the top of the iliac crests at the level of the
level of the 4th spinous process (L4
The 4 abdominal quadrants have very easy lines to remember.. The other line divides the body into
superior and inferior intersecting the midline of the body into the visible landmark

Ascending colon, gall bladder, liver, right kidneY
The abdomen is divided into
4 quadrants or 9 regions
