Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

A	superficial
B	sagittal
C	transverse
D	proximal

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -Sagittal Plane (Lateral Plane)-A vertical plane running from front to back; divides the body or any of its parts into right and left sides.

Detailed explanation-2: -The sagittal or lateral plane dives the body into left and right halves and is an x-z plane. Technically, the sagittal or median plane goes right through the middle between the body’s left and right halves. Planes parallel the sagittal planes are called parasagittal planes.

Detailed explanation-3: -The sagittal plane (lateral or Y-Z plane) divides the body into sinister and dexter (left and right) sides.

Detailed explanation-4: -The sagittal plane divides the body into left and right sides. Sagittal plane movement facilitates motion following this plane, such as walking, running, bending forward, and extending backward.

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.
