  2. Coronal plane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronal_plane

    The coronal plane (also known as the frontal plane) is an anatomical plane that divides the body into dorsal and ventral sections. It is perpendicular to the sagittal and transverse planes. Details

  3. Anatomical plane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatomical_plane

    The transverse planes identified in Terminologia Anatomica are the transpyloric plane, the subcostal plane, the transumbilical (or umbilical) plane, the supracristal plane, the intertubercular plane, and the interspinous plane. A coronal plane (also known as frontal plane) is perpendicular to the ground; it separates the anterior from the ...

  4. Anatomical terms of location - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatomical_terms_of_location

    The coronal plane, also called the frontal plane, which divides the body into front and back. [2] The transverse plane, also called the axial plane or horizontal plane, which is perpendicular to the other two planes. [2] In a human, this plane is parallel to the ground; in a quadruped, this divides the animal into anterior and posterior ...

  5. Anatomical terminology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatomical_terminology

    The frontal plane is the plane that divides the body or an organ into an anterior (front) portion and a posterior (rear) portion. The frontal plane is often referred to as a coronal plane, following Latin corona, which means "crown". [1] The transverse plane is the plane that divides the body or organ horizontally into upper and lower portions ...

  6. Anatomical terms of neuroanatomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatomical_terms_of_neuro...

    Coronal, a vertical plane that passes through the coronal suture of the skull (or through both ears), or any plane parallel to this. There is no term "paracoronal" comparable to the commonly used "parasagittal".

  7. Calvaria (skull) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calvaria_(skull)

    The calvaria is made up of the superior portions of the frontal bone, occipital bone, and parietal bones. [1] In the human skull, the sutures between the bones normally remain flexible during the first few years of postnatal development, and fontanelles are palpable. Premature complete ossification of these sutures is called craniosynostosis.

  8. Transverse plane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transverse_plane

    The transverse plane (also known as the horizontal plane, axial plane and transaxial plane) is an anatomical plane that divides the body into superior and inferior sections. [1] It is perpendicular to the coronal and sagittal planes.

  9. Neuroanatomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuroanatomy

    A coronal plane across the human head and brain is modernly conceived to be parallel to the face (the plane in which a king's crown sits on his head is not exactly parallel to the face, and exportation of the concept to less frontally endowed animals than us is obviously even more conflictive, but there is an implicit reference to the coronal ...
