Our anatomical planes flashcards are a fun and interactive way to learn the different planes of the human body. Each card features an English word on one side and the definition on the other, making it easy to study and memorize. With audio pronunciation included, mastering anatomical planes has never been easier!
Anatomical planes are imaginary lines used by scientists to divide the body into different sections for studying and understanding. These planes help doctors and researchers to locate and describe specific parts of the body to each other. There are three principal anatomical planes: sagittal, coronal, and transverse. Each plane provides a different perspective of the body and is crucial for medical professionals to diagnose and treat patients accurately.

quick facts
Anatomical planes are imaginary lines used to divide the body into sections for study and reference.
The three principal anatomical planes are the sagittal plane, frontal (coronal) plane, and transverse (horizontal) plane.
The sagittal plane divides the body into left and right halves, the frontal plane divides the body into front and back sections, and the transverse plane divides the body into top and bottom halves.
Anatomical planes are essential in medical fields such as surgery and radiology for accurately describing the location of structures within the body.
Understanding anatomical planes is crucial for healthcare professionals to communicate effectively about the body’s anatomy and various medical conditions.
