Coronal, sagittal and transverse planes divide the human body into a three-dimensional grid in the study of human anatomy, to describe the location of body parts in relation to each other.

The coronal plane is a vertical plane that divides the body into the ventral (belly, front) and dorsal(back) sections. The sagittal plane is a vertical plane that passes through the ventral and dorsal sections to make a 90° angle with the coronal plane, dividing the body into left and right halves.

What plane does finger flexion occur?

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.

What are transvers planes?

Planes that divide the body into superior and inferior portions, and that are at right angles to both the sagittal and coronal planes are termed transverse planes.
