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 ...
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.
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] In a human, this plane is parallel to the ground; in a quadruped, this divides the animal into anterior and posterior ...
The frontal plane is the plane that divides the body or an organ into an anterior (front) portion and a posterior (rear) portion. The frontal plane is often referred to as a coronal plane, following Latin corona, which means "crown". [1] The transverse plane is the plane that divides the body or organ horizontally into upper and lower portions ...
When all its fibers contract simultaneously, the deltoid is the prime mover of arm abduction along the frontal plane. The arm must be medially rotated for the deltoid to have maximum effect. [13] This makes the deltoid an antagonist muscle of the pectoralis major and latissimus dorsi during arm adduction.
Flexion and extension of the shoulder joint in the (sagittal plane). Flexion is carried out by the anterior fibres of the deltoid, pectoralis major and the coracobrachialis. Extension is carried out by the latissimus dorsi and posterior fibres of the deltoid. Abduction and adduction of the shoulder (frontal plane).
Plane of movement: Coronal (side to side), Sagittal (forward and behind the anatomical position). The main anatomical planes of the human body, including median (red), parasagittal (yellow), frontal or coronal plane (blue) and transverse or axial plane (green).
The frontal lobe is covered by the frontal cortex. [2] The frontal cortex includes the premotor cortex and the primary motor cortex – parts of the motor cortex. The front part of the frontal cortex is covered by the prefrontal cortex. The nonprimary motor cortex is a functionally defined portion of the frontal lobe.
