Anatomical Planes

What are the three anatomical planes?

• Coronal plane

• Midsagittal plane

• Cranial plane

• Transverse plane

What is Distal?

• Moving away/ down

• Towards/above

• Moving away/ above

• Towards/ below

Define Dorsal

• towards the front

• Towards the back

• Towards the front of the head

• Towards the tail

Which plane runs down through the body, diving the body into the left and right (split between the eyes)

• Transverse Plane

• Coronal Plane

• Sagittal Plane

Coronal Planes is

• Runs through the body diving the body into left and right.

• Divides the body into cranial and caudal ( head and tail )

• Divides the body into anterior and posterior ( Front and back)

Ventral is ...

• Towards the back

• Towards the front/belly

• Towards the nose/beak

Proximal is ...

• Towards/ below

• Moving away / down

• Towards/ above

• Moving away / up

What plane is this, divides the body into cranial and caudal ( head and tail)

• Sagittal Plane

• Coronal Plane

• Frontal Plane

• Transverse plane

Define Cranial.

• Towards the nose/beak

• Towards the tail

• Towards the head

define Rostral

• Towards the head

• Towards the nose/beak

• towards the tail
