  2. Anatomical plane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatomical_plane

    The sagittal plane or lateral plane (longitudinal, anteroposterior) is a plane parallel to the sagittal suture. It divides the body into left and right. The coronal plane or frontal plane (vertical) divides the body into dorsal and ventral (back and front, or posterior and anterior) portions.

  3. Sagittal plane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sagittal_plane

    Coronal axis, medial-lateral axis, or frontal axis is the axis perpendicular to the sagittal plane, i.e., the one formed by the intersection of the coronal and the transversal planes. [8] Extension and flexion are the movements of limbs within the sagittal plane. [9] Abduction and adduction are terms for movements of limbs within the coronal ...

  4. Coronal plane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronal_plane

    The coronal plane (also known as the frontal plane) is an anatomical plane that divides the body into dorsal and ventral sections. It is perpendicular to the sagittal and transverse planes. Details

  5. Anatomical terms of location - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatomical_terms_of_location

    The sagittal planes, also called the parasagittal planes, which are parallel to the median plane. [1] The coronal plane, also called the frontal plane, which divides the body into front and back. [2] The transverse plane, also called the axial plane or horizontal plane, which is perpendicular to the other two planes. [2]

  6. Anatomical terms of neuroanatomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatomical_terms_of_neuro...

    Sagittal, a vertical plane that passes from between the nostrils, and between the cerebral hemispheres, dividing the brain into left and right halves. "Median plane" specifically defines the midline between left and right sides of the body.

  7. Parietal bone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parietal_bone

    The frontal border is deeply serrated, and bevelled at the expense of the outer surface above and of the inner below; it articulates with the frontal bone, forming half of the coronal suture. The point where the coronal suture intersects with the sagittal suture forms a T-shape and is called the bregma .

  8. Calvaria (skull) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calvaria_(skull)

    The calvaria is made up of the superior portions of the frontal bone, occipital bone, and parietal bones. [1] In the human skull, the sutures between the bones normally remain flexible during the first few years of postnatal development, and fontanelles are palpable. Premature complete ossification of these sutures is called craniosynostosis.

  9. Frontal suture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frontal_suture

    The frontal suture is a fibrous joint that divides the two halves of the frontal bone of the skull in infants and children. Typically, it completely fuses between ...
