Coronal/frontal plane: splits body into front/back parts, movement is side/side. Saggital plane: splits body into left/right parts, movement is forward/backwards. Midsaggital plane placed directly in centre of the body. Parasaggital plane slightly moved left/right of midsaggital plane (parallel) Transverse plane: splits body in superior/inferior, movement is twisting/rotational (eg. pirouette) Body cavities: closed region in the body containing organs, protects vital organs, help to regionally organize the human body. Dorsal cavity: cranial brain lies, vertebral spinal cord. Ventral cavity: thoracic chest, heart, lungs, abdominopelvic abdominals, pelvic.
