Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The midsagittal plane or median plane divides the body into two parts. It vertically splits any object or organism into two relatively equal halves – left and right. In humans, each of the two bisected divisions includes half of the head, thorax, abdomen and genitals, one arm and one leg.

Detailed explanation-2: -The medial plane is an anatomical term of position. The medial plane divides the body through its midline. The medial plane passes through the sternum and navel, dividing it into two halves along a vertical axis.

Detailed explanation-3: -The median plane also called a mid-sagittal plane is used to describe the sagittal plane as it bisects the body vertically through the midline marked by the navel, dividing the body exactly in left and right side. The term parasagittal plane is used to refer to any plane parallel to the sagittal and median plane.
