Transverse plane
Frontal Plane about the anterioposterior axis
Though flexion and extension can occur in a variety of planes depending on the body's position, if you have a body in anatomical position, then all flexion and extension occurs on the sagittal plane.
The movement of the trunk in the frontal plane is called lateral flexion. This involves bending the trunk sideways to the left or right at the waist. It occurs in the frontal plane, which divides the body into front and back halves.
Horizontal flexion occurs in the transverse plane of motion, where the movement involves bending or flexing the body part in a horizontal direction towards the midline of the body.
Trunk flexion occurs in the sagittal plane of body motion. This movement involves bending the torso forward, bringing the chest toward the thighs. It primarily involves the muscles of the back and abdomen.
Flexion and extension movements occur in the sagittal plane. Flexion involves bending at a joint to decrease the angle between two body parts, while extension involves straightening at a joint to increase the angle between two body parts.
Flexion of the arm at the shoulder occurs primarily in the sagittal plane. This movement involves raising the arm forward and upward, decreasing the angle between the arm and the front of the body. It typically involves the use of muscles such as the deltoid and biceps brachii.
Thumb abduction and adduction is in the sagittal plane. However, finger abduction and adduction is in the frontal/coronal plane. Do these movements in the anatomical position and that will help you see that the thumb is not abducting or adducting in the frontal plane rather the sagittal plane.

Simply stated, flexion is when the angle around a joint is decreased from it's normal position (from the anatomical position) in the SAGITTAL plane. The sagittal plane is an imaginary line that splits your body into left and right pieces. All flexion moves in this plane. Ex. Flexion of the bicep requires you to pull your forearm (decrease the angle) toward your head. That motion running along the side of your body is also in the sagittal plane
Shoulder circumduction is a multiplanar motion that occurs in the sagittal, frontal, and transverse planes. It involves a combination of flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, and internal and external rotation at the shoulder joint.
