SUMMARY
The function of the anatomical planes is to serve as a spatial reference to facilitate the description and location of the organs and body structures
3 anatomical planes are described
1) The sagittal or median plane: this is an anteroposterior plane, which is perpendicular to the ground and divides the body into two halves, one right and the other left.
2) The transverse or horizontal planes are planes parallel to the ground, that cross the body from right to left and that are perpendicular to the sagittal plane.
3) The frontal or coronal planes are vertical planes, they cross the body from right to left and are perpendicular to the sagittal and transverse planes.
Except for the sagittal or middle plane, all other planes are unlimited in number.
That is why it is necessary to establish a body reference where the plane cuts the body.
