divides the body into upper and lower halves
A
ventral
B
medial
C
transverse plane
D
mid-sagital plane
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Axial Plane (Transverse Plane)-A horizontal plane; divides the body or any of its parts into upper and lower parts. Median plane-Sagittal plane through the midline of the body; divides the body or any of its parts into right and left halves.

Detailed explanation-2: -The transverse plane (axial or X-Z plane) divides the body into superior and inferior (head and tail) portions.

Detailed explanation-3: -The third plane of motion bisects the body into top and bottom halves and is called the transverse plane (AKA the horizontal plane).

Detailed explanation-4: -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. It is perpendicular to the coronal and sagittal planes.

Detailed explanation-5: -In human anatomy, the anatomical planes are defined in reference to the anatomical model being in the upright, or standing, orientation. A transverse plane (also known as axial or horizontal plane) is parallel to the ground; it separates the superior from the inferior, or the head from the feet.
