The dissectional planes that divides the body into left and right equal halves are called the midsagittal plane. This answer is referenced from my dental assisting book.

One plane that divides into front and back is the sagittal plane, which runs from front to back and divides the body into left and right halves. Another plane is the frontal (coronal) plane, which divides the body into front and back portions.
The two planes used to position the patient for extraoral radiographs are the sagittal plane (divides the body into left and right sides) and the coronal plane (divides the body into front and back halves). These planes help orient the patient in the proper position for imaging.
Any sagittal plane that is not the median plane divides the body into unequal left and right sides. These planes are called parasagittal planes and can be positioned at various angles to the body, resulting in different perspectives and sections of the body.
Yes, a baseball does have a plane of symmetry. When sliced in half along its equator, both halves are mirror images of each other.
The sagittal plane divides the body into left and right halves, while the medial plane refers to an imaginary line that runs down the center of the body. Essentially, the sagittal plane is a specific type of plane that can be parallel or coinciding with the medial plane, depending on the context.
