The plane that splits the top and bottom halves of the body is called the transverse plane. It runs horizontally across the body, separating the upper (superior) and lower (inferior) portions. This plane is commonly used in anatomical and medical contexts to describe the orientation of structures within the body.

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.

Plane divides the body into upper and lower portions?

The plane that divides the body into upper and lower portions is called the transverse plane, also known as the horizontal plane. This plane runs horizontally from side to side, separating the body into the top (superior) and bottom (inferior) halves. It is commonly used in anatomical and medical contexts to help describe the location of structures within the body.


Which plane divides the body into right and left parts?

From a vertical point of view, the plane that divides the body into left and right portions is the lateral plane or sagittal plane. Dividing the body into planes makes studying anatomy less confusing as body parts can be more easily identified.
