Sectional plane

a single view or slice along a two-dimensional flat surface

Sectional plane contains…

Frontal(coronal) plane, Sagittal plane, Midsagittal plane, Parasagittal plane, Transverse (horizontal) plane

Frontal (coronal) plane

a vertical plane that divides the body or organ into anterior and posterior portions

Sagittal plane

a vertical plane that divides the body or organ into left and right portions

Midsagittal plane

lies in the middle, separates the body into equal sides

Parasagittal plane

is offset from the middle, missing the midline, makes separation unequal

Transverse (horizontal) plane

a horizontal plane that divides the body or organ into superior and inferior portions

Surface anatomy

locating structures on or near the body surface

Anatomical position

Anterior view

body in anatomical position from the front

Posterior view

body in anatomical position from the back

Supine

body lying face up

Prone

body lying face down
