Question

1. which plane is represented by the following image?

a. sagittal
b. midsagittal
c. frontal
d. transverse

Explanation:

To determine the anatomical plane, we analyze each option:

• Sagittal (a): Divides body into left/right, but not necessarily midline.
• Midsagittal (b): Divides body into equal left/right halves (midline). The image shows a vertical cut through the midline (symmetrical left/right), matching midsagittal.
• Frontal (c): Divides body into anterior/posterior (front/back), not vertical midline.
• Transverse (d): Divides body into superior/inferior (top/bottom), horizontal cut.

Answer:

b. Midsagittal
