Which body plane creates the directional terms medial and lateral?

∙ 9y ago
The terms medial and lateral are evaluated along the coronal plane. When drawing an imaginary line to evaluate a structure's position in terms of medial and lateral, the line drawn is parallel to the sagittal plane.

What plane of motion is horizontal flexion in?
Sagittal with a Medial Lateral axis
Is the cheekbone proximal to the nose?
Since it is in about the same plane as your cheekbones it can not be considered to be superficial. But the nose is medial to the cheekbones and the cheekbones are lateral to the nose.
Which section divides the body into right and left portions?
well all the body planes separate the body into two planes. the frontal plane separates it into anterior(front) and posterior(back) sagital separates medial and lateral, transverse superior and inferior.
What are examples of lateral inversion?
In plane mirror and in ambulances.
What pair of directional terms would always describe movement along the sagittal plane?
superior and inferior
Compare and contrast the directions lateral and medial on the human body?
Medial means towards the middle, lateral is the opposite of medial (away from the median plane or middle)
Directional term meaning farther from the midline or midsagittal plane?
LATERAL...

Is the sternum lateral to the humerus?
No. The sternum is superior to the descending colon.
What is the term that means nearest to the midline of the body?
cut your body right down the center and there is your midline...
What section separates the body into dorsal and ventral parts?
well all the body planes separate the body into two planes. the frontal plane separates it into anterior(front) and posterior(back) sagital separates medial and lateral, transverse superior and inferior.
In which plane do pronation and supination of the subtalar joint occur?
3 Planes: Sagittal, Frontal, & Transverse. They are a combination of motions in multiple planes (IR/ER, Medial/Lateral, Anterior/Posterior)
Which section divides the body into right and left portions?
well all the body planes separate the body into two planes. the frontal plane separates it into anterior(front) and posterior(back) sagital separates medial and lateral, transverse superior and inferior.
What is the difference between lateral and distal?
Lateral refers to a left-to-right relationship, eg, the left lung is lateral to the right lung.Distal refers to a near-far or base-tip relationship. The fingertip is distal; the base of the finger is proximal.
Body parts close to the midsagittal plane are called?
Body parts close to the midsagittal plane are medial.
What are the parts of cartesian plane?
Horizontal, vertical, lateral
