    The document discusses the three main anatomical planes used to describe body structures and movement: the sagittal, coronal, and transverse planes. The sagittal plane divides the body into left and right halves down the midline. The coronal plane divides the body into front and back portions perpendicular to the sagittal plane. The transverse plane divides the body into upper and lower sections horizontally and perpendicular to both the sagittal and coronal planes.

    PRACTICAL # 01
    OBJECT:
    To study the planes and position of the body

    THEORY:
    Planes: An anatomical plane refers to a hypothetical plane used in
    describing the location of bodily structures or movement directions.
    The three planes that are commonly used in human and animal
    anatomy are
     Sagittal plane
     Coronal plane
     Transverse plane

    SAGITTAL PLANE:
    The sagittal
    plane is a vertical plane which passes through the body
    longitudinally.It divides the body into a left and right halves .
    A specific sagittal
    plane is the median sagittal plane which passes
    down the midline of the body, separating it into
    equal halves.
    CORONAL PLANE :
    Coronal plane are vertical
    plane which passes through the body from side to side.They
    are perpendicular to the sagittal plane. They are also known
    as frontal plane.

    2
    TRANSVERSE PLANE:
    The transverse plane is
    a horizontal plane. It is perpendicular to both the
    sagittal and coronal planes, and parallel to the ground
    It divides the
    body into an upper (superior) section and a lower
    (inferior) section.

    Transverse planes are also known as transaxial or axial


    plane
