2. Anatomical plane - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatomical_plane

   An anatomical plane is a hypothetical plane used to transect the body, in order to describe the location of structures or the direction of movements. In human anatomy and non-human anatomy, four principal planes are used: the median plane, sagittal plane, coronal plane, and transverse plane. [1] The median plane passes through the middle of the ...

3. Anatomical terms of motion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatomical_terms_of_motion

   In general, motion is classified according to the anatomical plane it occurs in. Flexion and extension are examples of angular motions, in which two axes of a joint are brought closer together or moved further apart. Rotational motion may occur at other joints, for example the shoulder, and are described as internal or external.

4. Anatomical terminology - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatomical_terminology

   The three anatomical planes of the body: the sagittal, transverse (or horizontal), frontal planes. Anatomy is often described in planes, referring to two-dimensional sections of the body. A section is a two-dimensional surface of a three-dimensional structure that has been cut. A plane is an imaginary two-dimensional surface that passes through ...

5. Anatomical terms of location - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatomical_terms_of_location

   Anatomical terms describe structures with relation to four main anatomical planes. [5] Anatomical planes are useful in a number of fields including medical imaging, embryology, and the study of movement. [6] The four main planes are: The median plane, also called the midsagittal plane, divides the body into left and right parts starting from ...

   For the foot, pronation will cause the sole of the foot to face more laterally than when standing in the anatomical position. Pronation of the foot is a compound movement that combines abduction, eversion, and dorsiflexion. Regarding posture, a pronated foot is one in which the heel bone angles inward and the arch tends to collapse.

8. Coronal plane - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronal_plane

   For a human, the mid-coronal plane would transect a standing body into two halves (front and back, or anterior and posterior) in an imaginary line that cuts through both shoulders. The description of the coronal plane applies to most animals as well as humans even though humans walk upright and the various planes are usually shown in the ...

9. Transverse plane - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transverse_plane

   The transverse plane (also known as the horizontal plane, axial plane and transaxial plane) is an anatomical plane that divides the body into superior and inferior sections. [1] It is perpendicular to the coronal and sagittal planes.
