BODY PLANES “ SOFT”
● Sagittal -runs vertically from top to bottom (and front to back), and it divides the body into a left and
right portion.
● Oblique - a plane that can literally be any type of angle other than a horizontal or vertical angle. In
fact, the word “oblique” means that something is not parallel or a right angle.
● Frontal - ( coronal plane) is a plane that runs vertically from top to bottom (and left to right), and it
divides the body into a front (anterior) portion and a back (posterior) portion.
● Transverse - (horizontal plane) is easy to remember because it is the only plane that runs
horizontally, dividing the body or structure into a top (superior) and bottom (inferior) half.
