Sectional anatomy
used to divide the body into specific planes or sections
used for medical imaging
47
Frontal plane
Parallel to the long axis of the body
Divides the body into anterior and posterior portions
48
Coronal plane
Divides the head into anterior and posterior sections
49
Sagittal (midsagittal or median) plane
Parallel to the long axis of the body
Divides the body into equal right and left halves
50
Parasagittal plane
Divides the body into unequal right and left halves
51
Transverse (horizontal) plane
Creates right angles to the long axis of the body
Perpendicular to the long axis of the body
Divides the body into superior and inferior portions
52
Oblique plane
Any plane that does not divide the body into frontal, sagittal, or transverse
Radiates are the sagittal or transverse axis
Allows visualization is the surface structures- features in bones and margins on organs
53
Directional terms
Used to locate structures of the body and or express relationship la between structures
54
Anterior (ventral)
