Planes Of The Body.
The anatomical body planes are imaginary surface planes which used to divide body into section.
The types of body planes are.
a) Transverse or Axial plane.
b) Sagittal plane.
c) Median sagittal plane.
d) Coronal plane.
a) Transverse or Axial plane:- The planes which divides the body into superior and inferior part is called transverse or Axial plane.
b) Sagittal plane:- The planes which is parallel to the median sagittal plane but divides the body into unequal right and left portions is known as sagittal plane. It is also called para sagittal plane.
c) Median sagittal plane:- The plane which divides the body into right and left halves is called median sagittal plane.
d) Coronal plane:- The planes which divides the body into anterior and posterior is called coronal plane.
