Document Summary

Term section , implies an actual cut or slice to expose the internal anatomy whereas the word plane , implies an imaginary flat surface passing through the body. The three major anatomical planes are the coronary, transverse, and midsagittal planes. Coronal plane: frontal plane, is a vertical plane that divides the body or organ into anterior and posterior parts. When a coronal plane is taken through the trunk, the anterior portion contains the chest and the posterior contains the back and buttocks. Transverse plane: horizontal plane or cross sectional plane, it divides the body or organ into superior and inferior parts. If a transverse plane is taken through the middle of the trunk, the superior portion contains the chest and the inferior contains the abdomen. Midsagittal plane: or medial plane, it is a vertical plane that divides the body or organ into left and right halves.
