  2. Coronal plane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronal_plane

    The coronal plane is an example of a longitudinal plane.For a human, the mid-coronal plane would transect a standing body into two halves (front and back, or anterior and posterior) in an imaginary line that cuts through both shoulders.

  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 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".

  6. Sagittal plane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sagittal_plane

    Coronal axis, medial-lateral axis, or frontal axis is the axis perpendicular to the sagittal plane, i.e., the one formed by the intersection of the coronal and the transversal planes. [8] Extension and flexion are the movements of limbs within the sagittal plane. [9] Abduction and adduction are terms for movements of limbs within the coronal ...

  7. 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 ...

  8. Curve of Spee - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curve_of_Spee

    In anatomy, the Curve of Spee (also called von Spee's curve or Spee's curvature) is defined as the curvature of the mandibular occlusal plane beginning at the canine and following the buccal cusps of the posterior teeth, continuing to the terminal molar. According to another definition the curve of Spee is an anatomic curvature of the occlusal ...

  9. Cobb angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cobb_angle

    However, the endplates are generally parallel for each vertebra, so not all sources include usage of a superior versus inferior endplate in the definition. [2] Unless otherwise specified it is generally presumed to refer to angles in the coronal plane, such as projectional radiography in posteroanterior view.
