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.


What are body planes?

Body planes are imaginary lines used to divide the body into sections for anatomical reference. The main body planes are the sagittal plane (divides body into left and right halves), frontal or coronal plane (divides body into front and back sections), and transverse or horizontal plane (divides body into top and bottom sections). These planes help healthcare professionals describe the location of body structures and organs.


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.


You are told to cut a dissection animal along two planes so that the lungs are observable in both sections The two sections that meet hitd requierment are the sagittal and?

The two planes that would meet the requirement of making the lungs observable in both sections are the sagittal and coronal planes. The sagittal plane would divide the animal into left and right halves, allowing both lungs to be visible in each section. The coronal plane would divide the animal into front and back halves, also resulting in both lungs being visible in each section.


You are told to cut a dissection animal along two planes so that the kidneys are observable in both sections. What two sections meet this requirement?

I would suggest one of you sections be a coronal sections and the other be a horizontal plane. 08/26/09: I would suggest Frontal and Transverse planes.


What is an axial plane?

An axial plane is a plane which divides the body into superior and inferior parts, at roughly perpendicular angles to the spine. The most commonly used terms for specific axial planes are the transverse plane, the coronal plane, and the sagittal plane.


What is understood by the body planes?

The three basic planes of the body used in medicine are sagittal, coronal or frontal, and axial. The sagittal plane is a plane cutting down the body splitting the body into right and left sides. If the plane is through the middle of the body, making equal right and left halves, the plane is called mid-sagittal. The coronal plane is much like the sagittal, except the plane splits the body into anterior and posterior parts. The axial plane is the plane most often used in computed tomography (CT) scans. It splits the body into superior and inferior (or cephalad and caudad) parts. Other planes include oblique, which is like axial, but set at an angle.
