transverse plane one passing horizontally through the body, at right angles to the sagittal and frontal planes, and dividing the body into upper and lower portions.

Hi there, there is no such thing as a mid-transverse plane. There are mid-sagittal and mid-coronal planes how ever. A transverse plane is just split anywhere in the body horizontally. How ever if there was a mid-transverse plane I would assume it would be around the navel area.
