anatomical planes

Anatomical planes are imaginary lines used to divide the body into sections for understanding its structure and functions. The three main planes are: 1. **Sagittal Plane** - divides the body into left and right sides. 2. **Coronal Plane** (or frontal) - divides the body into front (anterior) and back (posterior) sections. 3. **Transverse Plane** (or horizontal) - divides the body into upper (superior) and lower (inferior) parts. These planes help professionals describe locations and movements of body parts accurately, aiding in fields like medicine, anatomy, and fitness.
