GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Planes of the Body 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-3: -The frontal (coronal) plane divides the body into superior and inferior parts.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -Planes of movement-Sagittal vs frontal vs transverse Sagittal refers to forward or backward; frontal (aka coronal) refers to side to side; transverse refers to rotational-more on planes of motion here.
