Question 1

Saggital plane

Answer 1

divides the body in left to right, resulting in a left side
and a right side - flexion and extension

Question 2

The Frontal plane

Answer 2

divides the body from front and back, resulting in a
front and back part - adduction and abduction

Question 3

The transverse plane

Answer 3

divides the body across the middle (horizontally),
giving a top section (also known as ‘superior’) and a bottom section (‘inferior) - rotation

Question 4

Frontal axis

Answer 4

The Frontal axis runs from side to side - this allows flexion and extension)

Question 5

The Sagittal axis

Answer 5

The Sagittal axis runs from front to back - allows abduction and adduction)

Question 6

The Vertical axis

Answer 6

runs from top to bottom, - allows rotation of the body in an upright position)
