Transverse (axial) plane: separates the upper (superior) and lower (inferior) halves of the body. To imagine each, it’s useful to visualize a large sheet of glass that runs through your body.
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. It is perpendicular to the coronal and sagittal planes.
A transverse plane, also known as an axial plane or cross-section, divides the body into cranial and caudal (head and tail) portions. A sagittal plane divides the body into sinister and dexter (left and right) portions.
Cross-sections are two-dimensional, axial views of gross anatomical structures seen in transverse planes. They are obtained by taking imaginary slices perpendicular to the main axis of organs, vessels, nerves, bones, soft tissue, or even the entire human body.
The transverse plane, also known as the horizontal plane, divides the body into superior and inferior sections. This plane is useful for visualizing the spatial relationships between organs and structures.
Using a frontal plane to bisect the body lengthwise, we’re able to describe certain areas that would not be easily visible or accessible if we used another plane. The transverse plane bisects the brain horizontally, allowing for a superior view.
First is the transverse plane, (also called the horizontal plane), which divides the body into top and bottom. In anatomical position, transverse planes are parallel to the ground. The second is the coronal plane, which is a vertical plane that divides the body into the front and back sections.
