Q

Name the 4 standard anatomical planes?

A
  1. Sagittal
  2. Coronal
  3. Transverse
  4. Frankfort Horizontal
18
Q

What is the sagittal plane?

A
  • plane through middle of body that divides it into left and right halves
  • halves are symmetrical
    sagittal plane defines midline of the body
19
Q

What is the coronal plane?

A
  • plane through middle of the body that divides it into anterior and posterior halves
  • orthogonal to (at right angle) the sagittal plane
20
Q

What is the transverse plane?

A
  • plane that is perpendicular to both sagittal and coronal plane and horizontal to the ground
21
Q

What is the Frankfort Horizontal plane?

A
  • plane that connects lower margin of the orbit with the upper margin of the auditory canal in the dry skull
  • used for orienting the cranium for measuring
22
Q

What are positive features of bone?

A

aspects of bone that project above the bone surface (bumps)W

23
Q
