Question

a(n) ________ plane separates the body into anterior and posterior parts.
○ oblique
○ sagittal
○ coronal
○ transverse

Explanation:

To solve this, we recall the definitions of body planes:

• Oblique planes are irregular and not standard for major body divisions.
• Sagittal planes divide the body into left and right parts.
• Coronal (or frontal) planes divide the body into anterior (front) and posterior (back) parts.
• Transverse planes divide the body into superior (top) and inferior (bottom) parts.

So the coronal plane is the one that separates the body into anterior and posterior parts.

Answer:

C. coronal
