The standard anatomical position, or standard anatomical model, is the scientifically agreed upon reference position for anatomical location terms. Standard anatomical positions are used to standardise the position of appendages of animals with respect to the main body of the organism. In medical disciplines, all references to a location on or ...
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 and non-human anatomy, three principal planes are used: The sagittal plane or lateral plane (longitudinal, anteroposterior) is a plane parallel to the sagittal suture. It divides the body ...
The median plane, which divides the body into left and right. [2] [6] This passes through the head, spinal cord, navel, and, in many animals, the tail. [6] The sagittal planes, which are parallel to the median plane. [1] The frontal plane, also called the coronal plane, which divides the body into front and back. [2]
The coronal plane is an example of a longitudinal 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 ...
The sagittal plane (/ ˈsædʒɪtəl /; also known as the longitudinal plane) is an anatomical plane that divides the body into right and left sections. [1] It is perpendicular to the transverse and coronal planes. The plane may be in the center of the body and divide it into two equal parts (mid-sagittal), or away from the midline and divide ...

That’s one winner with a five-figure price and one in six figures. Five came in under $100,000 and two over, with an entry each from Acura, BMW, Ford, Hyundai, Lucid, Porsche, and Tesla.
(See diagram). Furthermore, the equatorial plane is parallel to the tangent plane at the North Pole and as such has claim to be a horizontal plane. But it is. at the same time, a vertical plane for points on the equator. In this sense, a plane can, arguably, be both horizontal and vertical, horizontal at one place, and vertical at another.
