A plane that extends down the long axis of the body, dividing it into right and left halves.
The plane that divides the body or body segment into the right and left parts. To learn more, View The Sagittal Plane
an X-Z plane, perpendicular to the ground and to the coronal plane, which separates left from right
A vertical plane extending in an antero-posterior direction dividing the body into right and left parts
Anatomical term referring to the imaginary longitudinal line that divides the body or any of its parts into right and left sections; the mid-sagittal line divides both halves equally; Motions within the sagittal plane include flexion and extension.
The median plane of the body which divides it into two equal halves.
The plane that divides the body vertically into two equal halves.
An anteroposterior vertical plane passing through the body from front to back, dividing it in half.
plane that splits body into right and left halves.
The sagittal plane of the human body is any imaginary slice made from the top of the head down, running parallel to the medial or midsagittal plane (sagittal plane running through the middle). cutting the body into two halves of varying proportion. It runs from the nose to the back of the head, unlike the coronal plane, which runs perpendicularly, from ear to ear. In the diagram right, the pink axis is the mid-sagittal plane, however this diagram does not depict the anatomical position (standing straight up, arms down, palms and feet facing forward).
