GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The median plane is a vertical plane that divides the body into equal right and left halves, and any vertical plane that is parallel to the median plane is known as the sagittal plane.

Detailed explanation-2: -The sagittal plane, also known as the longitudinal plane, divides the body into left and right halves.

Detailed explanation-3: -The sagittal plane is the plane that divides the body or an organ vertically into right and left sides. If this vertical plane runs directly down the middle of the body, it is called the midsagittal or median plane.

Detailed explanation-4: -The sagittal plane divides the right and left side of the brain into parts. The midsagittal plane would divide the right and left sides of the brain into two equal parts, like cutting down the middle of a baked potato before you put on the toppings.

Detailed explanation-5: -If it divides the body into unequal right and left sides, it is called a parasagittal plane or less commonly a longitudinal section. The frontal plane is the plane that divides the body or an organ into an anterior (front) portion and a posterior (rear) portion.
