Body Planes and Sections
 A sagittal section divides the body (or organ) into
left and right parts
 A median, or midsagittal, section divides the body
(or organ) into equal left and right parts
 A frontal section divides the body (or organ) into
anterior and posterior parts
 A transverse, or cross, section divides the body
(or organ) into superior and inferior parts

Body Cavities
 Dorsal body cavity
 Cranial cavity houses the brain
 Spinal cavity houses the spinal cord
 Ventral body cavity
 Thoracic cavity houses heart, lungs and
others
 Abdominopelvic cavity houses digestive
system and most urinary system organs
