• A type of protein.

• A carbohydrate molecule.

• A lipid component.

Midsagittal

• A sagittal plane that crosses through the midline of the body.

• A horizontal plane that divides the body into upper and lower parts.

• A frontal plane that divides the body into anterior and posterior sections.

• A transverse plane that separates the body into left and right halves.

Posterior (dorsal)

• Toward or at the front of the body; in front.

• Toward or at the back of the body; behind.

• Toward the side of the body; lateral.
