Question 1
In anatomy, the three basic planes of reference are the sagittal plane (divides the body into left and right), the frontal (coronal) plane (divides the body into anterior and posterior), and the transverse (horizontal) plane (divides the body into superior and inferior).
The dorsal cavity, which is located on the posterior side of the body, is subdivided into the cranial cavity (houses the brain) and the spinal cavity (houses the spinal cord).
The ventral cavity, on the anterior side of the body, is subdivided into the thoracic cavity (contains heart, lungs, etc.) and the abdominopelvic cavity (which is further divided into abdominal and pelvic cavities).
