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

Which plane of movement ____ ‘Divides the body into anterior (front) and posterior (back)?’

A	Frontal
B	Sagittal
C	Transverse
D	None of the above

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -A coronal or frontal plane is perpendicular to the ground and divides the body into dorsal (posterior or back) and ventral (anterior or front) portions.

Detailed explanation-2: -Coronal Plane (Frontal Plane)-A vertical plane running from side to side; divides the body or any of its parts into anterior and posterior portions.

Detailed explanation-3: -Movements that occur in the frontal plane are lateral or side-to-side movements. These include: Abduction: Moving (or moving a limb) laterally and away from the midline of the body. Adduction: Moving (or moving a limb) towards the midline of the body.

Detailed explanation-4: -Frontal axis-this line runs from left to right through the centre of the body. For example, when a person performs a somersault they rotate around this axis. Sagittal (also known as the antero-posterior) axis-this line runs from front to back through the centre of the body.
