Detailed explanation-1: -The transverse plane (axial or X-Z plane) divides the body into superior and inferior (head and tail) portions. It is typically a horizontal plane through the center of the body and is parallel to the ground.

Detailed explanation-2: -The transverse plane, or the axial plane, divides the body into upper (superior) and lower (inferior) halves.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Transverse plane-passes through the middle of the body and divides the body horizontally in an upper and lower half. Rotation types of movement occur in this plane, eg hip rotation in a golf swing, twisting in a discus throw, pivoting in netball, spinning in skating.

Detailed explanation-5: -The coronal plane or frontal plane (vertical) divides the body into dorsal and ventral (back and front, or posterior and anterior) portions. The transverse plane or axial plane (horizontal) divides the body into cranial and caudal (head and tail) portions.
