Frontal Plane (Coronal Plane)
is an imaginary line that run vertically across the shoulders, sides, and hips, dividing the
body from front to back.
Midsagittal Plane (Sagittal Plane or Lateral Plane)
is an imaginary line that runs vertically down the spine, face and center of the abdomen,
dividing the body into left and right portions.
Transverse Plane (Cross-Sectional Plane)
is an imaginary line that runs horizontally through the abdomen (at the navel), and
through the back to divide the body into top and bottom portions.
Abdominopelvic Cavity
Consists of the abdominal cavity and the pelvic cavity. It contains the stomach, liver,
pancreas, spleen, gallbladder, kidneys, most of the small and large intestines, the
urinary bladder and the internal reprooductive organs.
Dorsal Cavity
Located along the dorsal (posterior) surface of the body, where it is subdividedinto the
cranial cavity (which contains the brain) and the vertebral cavity (which encases the
spinal cord). The two cavities are contiuous.
Thoracic Cavity (or chest cavity)
Enclosed by the ribs, the vertebral column and the sternum. The second largest hollow
space in the body, it is separated from the abdominal cavity by the diaphragm.
