Body Planes and Sections: Frontal, Sagittal, Oblique, Transverse | Anatomy and Physiology

In anatomy and physiology, the body planes and sections (also called anatomical planes) help us understand the various ways in which the body can be viewed when cut into sections. The four major body planes are the sagittal plane, frontal (also called coronal) plane, the transverse (also called horizontal or axial) plane, and the oblique plane.
Quiz: www.registerednursern.com/anatomical-body-sections-and-planes-quiz/
Body planes are important to know if you plan to enter a healthcare field that involves analyzing images from MRIs, CT scans, and other types of imaging equipment.
A quick tip for remembering the four major types of planes is to remember the word "SOFT," which reminds us of sagittal, oblique, frontal, and transverse planes.
Sagittal planes run vertically from top to bottom, and they divide the body into left and right portions. To remember this, think of the sagittal suture on the skull, which divides it into left and right portions.
Midsagittal planes, also called median planes, run directly down the body's midline, hence the prefix "mid." Parasagittal planes include any sagittal plane that does not run down the body's midline.
Transverse planes, also called axial or horizontal planes, run across the body in a horizontal direction. The prefix trans means across.
Oblique planes are odd angle planes. They are neither horizontal nor vertical, but rather, any angle in between.

Hi! 1st year nursing student here! I just want to say thank you very much. Anatomy is hard for me since our professors sometimes don't teach us and made us self-study almost everything, which is really hard for a freshman who is new to the terms. I've been searching directional terms, movement terms, and now planes, and every time, it is your channel that gives the simplest and best explanations! I have a practical exam this coming Monday, thank you for your help! Very much!

[@namjoonsbeaner7087]

Thank Youuu! It’s so hard to understand my teacher online so I feel like I have to teach myself and this was a life saver!

[@legitlyspelunking]

I'm taking anatomy virtually and did not understand this at all when the instructor was explaining it but now I get it completely! Great definitions and loved the mini quiz at the end!
