sagittalplan
The sagittal plane is a vertical anatomical plane that divides the body into left and right portions. It runs from the anterior (front) to the posterior (back) and is perpendicular to the coronal (frontal) plane, while being parallel to the midsagittal plane, which passes through the body’s midline. A sagittal plane that passes exactly through the midline is called the midsagittal or median plane. Planes that are parallel to the midline but offset from it are known as parasagittal planes.
In anatomy and medical imaging, sagittal planes are used to describe sections and orientations. A sagittal
Movements described in relation to planes include flexion and extension, which occur mainly in the sagittal
