What is the Sagittal Plane?

• Divides the body in half, through the side.

• Divides the body in half, horizontally.

• Divides the body in half, through the chest.

• Divides the body in half, diagonally.

Answer explanation

The Sagittal Plane divides the body into left and right halves, specifically through the chest. This is distinct from other planes, such as the horizontal or diagonal divisions.

Which of these choices is NOT a type of cavity?

• Oral Cavity

• Cranial Cavity

• Abdominopelvic Cavity

• Fibula Cavity

Answer explanation

The Fibula Cavity is not a recognized anatomical cavity. The Oral, Cranial, and Abdominopelvic cavities are all established types of cavities in the human body, while the fibula is a bone, not a cavity.

Towards the head or above.

• Superior

• Proximal

• Inferior

• Medial

Answer explanation

The term 'superior' refers to a position that is towards the head or above another structure. In contrast, 'inferior' means below, 'proximal' refers to being closer to the point of attachment, and 'medial' means closer to the midline.

The plane that divides the body into anterior and posterior parts:

• Sagittal (Medial)

• Transverse (Horizontal)

• Frontal (Coronal)

Answer explanation

The frontal (coronal) plane divides the body into anterior (front) and posterior (back) parts. In contrast, the sagittal plane divides it into left and right, while the transverse plane separates it into upper and lower sections.

AWAY from the middle/midline of the body:

• Medial

• Lateral

• Contralateral

• Ipsilateral

Answer explanation

The term 'lateral' refers to a position away from the midline of the body. In contrast, 'medial' means closer to the midline, while 'contralateral' and 'ipsilateral' refer to opposite and same sides, respectively.

Front of the body

• Ventral/ Anterior

• Dorsal/ Posterior

• Superior

• Sagittal

Answer explanation

The front of the body is referred to as 'ventral' or 'anterior'. 'Dorsal' or 'posterior' refers to the back, while 'superior' indicates a position above, and 'sagittal' describes a plane dividing the body.
