    Study Notes

    Anatomical Planes and Position

    • The frontal plane divides the body into unequal right and left portions.
    • The frontal plane gives a front view of the body.
    • The transverse plane divides the body into a top section and a bottom section.

    Anatomical Position

    • The anatomical position is where the body stands upright with feet shoulder-width apart and hands by the sides, with palms facing forward.
    • The purpose of the anatomical position is to provide a standard reference point for describing body structures.

    Sagittal Plane

    • The sagittal plane divides the body into right and left halves.

    Oblique Planes

    • Oblique planes are not parallel to the sagittal, frontal, or transverse planes.
    • The defining characteristic of an oblique plane is that it does not align with the standard anatomical planes.
    • Oblique muscles, such as the external and internal obliques, can be thought of as following an oblique plane.
    • A way to remember that oblique planes are odd and travel at strange angles is to think of them as "odd" and "off-axis".
