    Which plane is indicated in GREEN?

    • Midway Plane

    • Midline Plane

    • Saggital Plane

    • Medial Plane

    • Transverse Plane

    Correct Answer
    A. Transverse Plane
    Explanation
    The transverse plane is indicated in green. This plane divides the body into upper and lower sections, perpendicular to the sagittal and coronal planes. It is also known as the horizontal plane and is commonly used in medical imaging to obtain cross-sectional views of the body.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    The coronal plane divides the body into _____ and _____ portions.

    • Left and right

    • Posterior and anterior

    • Above and below

    • Medial and proximal

    • Dorsal and caudal

    Correct Answer
    A. Posterior and anterior
    Explanation
    The coronal plane is a vertical plane that divides the body into posterior and anterior portions. The term "posterior" refers to the back or rear side of the body, while "anterior" refers to the front or forward side of the body. This division allows for a clear understanding of the anatomical positions and orientations of different structures within the body.
