Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which plane of movement ____ ‘Divides the body into superior (upper) and inferior (lower) parts?’
A
Transverse
B
Frontal
C
Sagittal
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-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 (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-4: -Transverse plane. Divides the body into superior (upper) and inferior (lower) portions. Sagittal plane. Vertical plane that divides the body into right and left sides.

Detailed explanation-5: -The coronal or frontal planes divide the body into front and back (also called dorsal and ventral or posterior and anterior) sections and are x-y planes. The transvers planes, also known as the axial or horizontal planes, are parallel to the ground and divide the body into top and bottom parts.
