coronal plane

The coronal plane, also known as the frontal plane, is an imaginary line that divides the body into front (anterior) and back (posterior) sections. It runs vertically from side to side, allowing for movements and anatomical references in a way that can help visualize complex structures and functions of the body. For example, when looking at a person face-on, the coronal plane separates what you see in front from what is behind. This concept is often used in fields like anatomy, medicine, and biology to describe positions and orientations in the human body.
