Study Notes

Anatomical Planes and Terminology

  • The median plane divides the body into equal right and left halves, creating symmetrical sections.
  • The sagittal plane is an imaginary vertical plane that runs at right angles to the median plane, allowing for lateral movement assessment.
  • In anatomy, anterior refers to the front of the body, while posterior indicates the back, providing a directional context for locating structures.
  • The transverse plane runs at right angles to both the median and coronal planes, facilitating horizontal cross-sections of the body.
  • Parasagittal planes are situated parallel to the median plane, dividing the body into unequal right and left sections.
