- Anatomical_plane abstract "An anatomical plane is a structure used to transect the human body, in order to describe the location of structures or the direction of movements. In human and animal anatomy, three basic planes are used: The sagittal plane, being a plane parallel to the sagittal suture, divides the body into sinister and dexter (left and right) portions. The midsagittal or median plane is in the midline; i.e. it would pass through midline structures such as the navel or spine, and all other sagittal planes (also referred to as parasagittal planes) are parallel to it. Median can also refer to the midsagittal plane of other structures, such as a digit. The coronal or frontal plane divides the body into dorsal and ventral (back and front, or posterior and anterior) portions. The transverse plane, also known as an axial plane or cross-section, divides the body into cranial and caudal (head and tail) portions.For post-embryonic humans a coronal plane is vertical and a transverse plane is horizontal, but for embryos and quadrupeds a coronal plane is horizontal and a transverse plane is vertical.When describing anatomical motion, these planes describe the axis along which an action is performed. So by moving through the transverse plane, movement travels from head to toe. For example, if a person jumped directly up and then down, their body would be moving through the transverse plane in the coronal and sagittal planes.Some of these terms come from Latin. Sagittal means "like an arrow", a reference to the position of the spine that naturally divides the body into right and left equal halves, the exact meaning of the term "midsagittal", or to the shape of the sagittal suture, which defines the sagittal plane and is shaped like an arrow.A longitudinal plane is any plane perpendicular to the transverse plane. The coronal plane and the sagittal plane are examples of longitudinal planes.".
