         Anatomical Plane






        An anatomical plane is a hypothetical plane used to transect the human body, in order to describe the location of

        structures or the direction of movements.




            In human and animal anatomy, three principal planes are used:



               Sagittal Plane


                    • Median plane or midsagittal plane

                    • Parasagittal plane




               Frontal (Coronal) Plane

               Transverse (Horizontal - Axial) Plane
