A line dividing the body into right and left sides is called
A
superficial
B
sagittal
C
transverse
D
proximal
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Sagittal Plane (Lateral Plane)-A vertical plane running from front to back; divides the body or any of its parts into right and left sides.

Detailed explanation-2: -The sagittal plane (lateral or Y-Z plane) divides the body into sinister and dexter (left and right) sides. The midsagittal (median) plane is in the midline through the center of the body, and all other sagittal planes are parallel to it.

Detailed explanation-3: -A sagittal plane, also known as the longitudinal plane, is perpendicular to the ground and divides the body into left and right.

Detailed explanation-4: -Most exercises are predominately in one plane more than the others. Imagine each plane as a plate of glass that cuts the body into either front/back (sagittal), left/right (frontal), or top/bottom (transverse) halves.

Detailed explanation-5: -The median (or midsagittal) plane is the sagittal plane that is exactly in the middle of the body; it passes through midline structures such as the navel and the spine. All other sagittal planes (also known as parasagittal planes) are parallel to it.
