MEDICAL PHYSIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The sagittal plane, also known as the longitudinal plane, divides the body into left and right halves. Movements that occur in the sagittal (longitudinal) plane involve forward and backward movements.

Detailed explanation-2: -Dividing the body into left and right halves using an imaginary line gives us the sagittal plane.

Detailed explanation-3: -The movement toward the midline is adduction, while the movement away from the midline is abduction.

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: -The movements of the shoulder in the transversal plane around the longitudinal axis are called external or lateral rotation and internal or medial rotation.
