5. THE BODY PERFORMS MOVEMENTS
THROUGH A PLANE AND AROUND AN
AXIS.
Plane
A plane is an imaginary
flat surface along which a
movement takes place.
Sagittal plane
Coronal plane
Horizontal plane
Axis
An axis is an imaginary
line about which the body
(or limbs) rotates.
Sagittal axis
Coronal axis
Transverse axis
6.
7. A vertical plane of a body
which passes from front to
rear dividing the body into
two symmetrical halves.
A sagittal plane is an
anatomical plane which
divides the body into right
and left parts.
10. Any horizontal plane of a body which is parallel to
diaphragm is called transverse plane or horizontal plane.
The transverse plane (also called the horizontal plane,
axial plane, or trans axial plane) is an imaginary plane
that divides the body into superior and inferior parts. It is
perpendicular to the coronal and sagittal planes.
13. Plane of the body which passes from side to side at right
angles to the sagittal plane is called frontal plane or
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.
19. A Cartesian coordinate
system is a coordinate
system that specifies each
point uniquely in a plane.
X-axis
Y-axis
Z-axis
20. Also called as anterio-posterior axis.
. Bisects the body laterally from side to side, dividing it
into front and back halves.
Plane regarding sagittal axis is coronal , frontal or lateral.
The frontal plane divides the body into front and back.
21.
22. Divides the body horizontally into Superior and Inferior
halves.
Regarding plane is horizontal or transverse plane.
This plane divides the body into top and bottom.
23.
24. Also called as frontal or lateral axis.
Bisects the body from front to back, dividing it into left
and right halves.
The Sagittal plane passes through the body front to back,
so dividing it into left and right.
25.
26. Plane the place or surface upon which movement takes place.
An axis is a straight line around which an object rotates.
Movement at the joint take place in a plane about an axis.
Axis and plane are perpendicular to each other.
Plane regarding coronal axis will be sagittal or anterio-
posterior plane.
Regarding plane to is horizontal or transverse plane vertical
axis.
Plane regarding sagittal axis is coronal , frontal or lateral.
