  • Sagittal plane
    A sagittal plane is an anatomical plane which divides the body into right and left halves.
  • Anatomical terms of location
    Standard anatomical terms of location deal unambiguously with the anatomy of animals, including humans.
  • Coronal plane
    A coronal plane (also known as the frontal plane) is any vertical plane that divides the body into ventral and dorsal (belly and back) sections.
  • Transverse plane
    The transverse plane (also called the horizontal plane, axial plane, or transaxial plane) is an imaginary plane that divides the body into superior and inferior parts.
  • Sternal plane
    The sternal plane is a coronal plane which transects the front of the sternum.
  • Subcostal plane
    The subcostal plane is a transverse plane which bisects the body at the level of the 10th costal margin and the vertebra body L3.
  • Posterior median line
    The posterior median line is a sagittal line on the posterior torso at the midline.
