Whats are planes
An imaginary flat surface that divides the hody into sections
What is the frontal plane
An imaginary line dividing the body vertically from left to riggt
What is a transverse plane
An imaginary line dividing the body from top to bottom
What is a frontal axis
an imaginary line passing horizontally through the body from left to right, allows flexion and extension
What is a sagital axis
imaginary line passing horizontally through the body from front to back, allows adduction and abduction
What is a transverse axis
Runs through the body horizontally from the back to front. Example: Cartwheel Runs through the body vertically from the top to bottom. Example: Full twist Runs through the body horizontally from the left to right.
What is a sagittal plane
this line runs from front to back through the centre of the body. For example, when a person performs a cartwheel they are rotating about the sagittal axis. Vertical axis - this line runs from top to bottom through the centre of the body.
