Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The transverse plane separates the body into ____
A
anterior/posterior
B
superior/inferior
C
medial/lateral
D
proximal/distal
Explanation: 

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: -Axial Plane (Transverse Plane)-A horizontal plane; divides the body or any of its parts into upper and lower parts.

Detailed explanation-3: -The transverse plane, or the axial plane, divides the body into upper (superior) and lower (inferior) halves. Movements that occur in this plane involve rotation or horizontal movement, which include: Rotation: rotating the torso or a limb around its vertical axis (e.g., turning your head to the left or right)

Detailed explanation-4: -The Transverse Plane This is a plane that divides the body into superior and inferior portions. This plane runs perpendicular to the coronal and median planes and in an upright human is parallel, or horizontal, to the ground. This is why it’s also called the ‘horizontal plane.

Detailed explanation-5: -A horizontal plane that divides the body into superior and inferior regions is known as a transverse plane and a vertical plane that divides the body into left and right regions is known as a sagittal plane.
