Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The sagittal plane (lateral or Y-Z plane) divides the body into sinister and dexter (left and right) sides. The midsagittal (median) plane is in the midline through the center of the body, and all other sagittal planes are parallel to it.
Detailed explanation-2: -Sagittal or Median Plane-A vertical plane running from front to back (Ante:; -Posterior) dividing the body into right and left parts.
Detailed explanation-3: -Sagittal plane motion would include forward and backward motions, like sit-ups, back extensions or biceps curls. The sagittal plane cuts through the center of the body, so the motion is front to back or back to front, including straight forward running.
