Question

body plane descriptions: • the ________ plane divides the body into left and right parts. • the ______ plane divides the body into front and back parts. • the ______ plane divides the body into upper and lower parts. • the ________ plane divides the body into equal left and right • halves.

Explanation:

1. The sagittal plane divides the body into left and right parts.
2. The frontal (or coronal) plane divides the body into front and back parts.
3. The transverse (or horizontal) plane divides the body into upper and lower parts.
4. The midsagittal (or median) plane divides the body into equal left and right halves.

Answer:

• The \underline{sagittal} plane divides the body into left and right parts.
• The \underline{frontal (coronal)} plane divides the body into front and back parts.
• The \underline{transverse (horizontal)} plane divides the body into upper and lower parts.
• The \underline{midsagittal (median)} plane divides the body into equal left and right halves.
