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 midsagittal plane or the median plane divides the body vertically into two symmetrical halves. It runs from the top of the head straight down the face, between the eyes, down the nose and through the naval. The horizontal or transverse plane divides the body into superior and inferior halves.
Detailed explanation-3: -A sagittal plane (also known as anteroposterior plane) is perpendicular to the ground, separating left from right. 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.
Detailed explanation-4: -The midsagittal plane or median plane divides the body into two parts. It vertically splits any object or organism into two relatively equal halves – left and right. In humans, each of the two bisected divisions includes half of the head, thorax, abdomen and genitals, one arm and one leg.
