Vertical planes passing through the body separating it from anterior and posterior parts

34
Q

Transverse plane (,ost common in USMLE)

Radiologist= transaxial or axial planes

A

Planes that pass through the body that divide the body into superior and inferior

35
Q

Three kinds of sections used with anatomical planes

A
  • longitudinal ( runs length wise or parallel to the axis of body, applies regardless of position)
  • transverse (known as cross sections are SLICES of the body that are cut at right angles to the longitudinal axis )
  • oblique( slices that are not specifically cut along a certain plane, like a slanted cut)
36
Q
