A vertical plane at right angles to a sagittal plane, dividing the body into anterior and posterior portions. Also called frontal plane.
Sagittal Plane
From a vertical point of view, the plane that divides the body into left and right portions is the lateral plane or sagittal plane. Dividing the body into planes makes studying anatomy less confusing as body parts can be more easily identified.
The body is divided into equal vertical left and right halves by the sagittal plane.
The coronal plane is also known as the frontal plane, which divides the body into front and back sections. It is perpendicular to the sagittal plane and horizontal to the transverse plane.
A vertical section through the body dividing it into anterior and posterior regions is called a frontal or coronal plane.
midsagittal plane
Midline SAGITTAL
This is called a sagittal plane if divided this way with symmetrical left and right halves. If the section produces asymmetrical halves, this is a parasagittal section.
Coronal, sagittal and transverse planes divide the human body into a three-dimensional grid in the study of human anatomy, to describe the location of body parts in relation to each other.The coronal plane is a vertical plane that divides the body into the ventral (belly, front) and dorsal(back) sections. The sagittal plane is a vertical plane that passes through the ventral and dorsal sections to make a 90° angle with the coronal plane, dividing the body into left and right halves.
The plane that divides the body into mirror images is known as the midsagittal plane or median plane. This plane passes through the midline of the body, dividing it into left and right halves that are symmetrical.
The sagittal plane divides the body into right and left halves. It runs from front to back, vertically down the body.
