Anatomical Planes and Terms

The horizontal plane is also referred to as the transverse plane, used for cross-sectional views of the body.
The top of the ear reveals the auricle or pinna, which helps capture sound waves.
The transverse slice of the spinal cord corresponds to the cross-sectional plane, allowing views across various spinal structures.
The term medial denotes proximity to the midline of the body, indicating things that are closer to the center.
Lateral describes positions that are further away from the midline, towards the sides of the body.
The term ipsilateral refers to structures located on the same side of the body, useful in describing injuries or conditions.
The coronal plane, also known as the frontal plane, divides the body into anterior (front) and posterior (back) sections.
