Sagittal Plane is described as which?

• A. Sagittal Plane
• B. Frontal Plane
• C. Transverse Plane
• D. Planes

Answer: (A)

Think about how the body is described in space: planes are flat slices that divide the body into sections. The sagittal plane is a vertical slice that splits the body into left and right parts. It’s the plane used to describe movements that go front-to-back along the length of the body, and when it runs exactly down the middle it’s called the midsagittal (median) plane. In this question, the term that directly names the plane that divides left and right is the sagittal plane itself, so that option is the best fit. The other choices describe different planes—frontal (front and back) and transverse (top and bottom)—or are too general, and don’t specifically describe the sagittal division.
