Q
transverse plane
A
vertical axes
4
Q
axes run … to the plane
A
perpendicular
5
Q
frontal plane
A
is a plane at right angles to the sagittal plane and divides the body/organs into anterior and posterior portions
6
Q
sagittal plane
A
vertical plane that divides the body/organs into equal left and right sides
7
Q
transverse plane
A
horizontal. Is parallel to the ground. Is at right angles to both frontal and sagittal planes. Transverse plane divides the body/organs into superior (upper) and inferior (lower) portions
8
Q
frontal axes
A
runs from side to side of the body or joint
9
Q
sagittal axes
A
from front to back
10
Q
vertical axes
A
movement from within the transverse plane is rotational around the vertical axes
