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.
Horizontal flexion occurs in the transverse plane of motion, where the movement involves bending or flexing the body part in a horizontal direction towards the midline of the body.
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.
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 plane mirror and in ambulances.
Anterior (toward the front) and posterior (toward the back) are directional terms that always describe movement along the sagittal plane.
LATERAL...
"Lateral" refers to the direction away from the midline of the body, while "medial" refers to the direction toward the midline. In simpler terms, lateral means toward the sides of the body, while medial means toward the center or midline of the body.
Lateral rotation involves moving a body part away from the midline of the body, while medial rotation involves moving a body part towards the midline. Anatomically, lateral rotation occurs in a horizontal plane, while medial rotation occurs in the opposite direction.
No. The sternum is superior to the descending colon.
cut your body right down the center and there is your midline...
Horizontal flexion occurs in the transverse plane of motion, where the movement involves bending or flexing the body part in a horizontal direction towards the midline of the body.
3 Planes: Sagittal, Frontal, & Transverse. They are a combination of motions in multiple planes (IR/ER, Medial/Lateral, Anterior/Posterior)
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.

Body parts close to the midsagittal plane are medial.
