A parasagittal section divides the body or body part into:

a. equal right and left parts.

b. front and back parts.

c. superior/proximal and inferior/distal parts.

d. unequal right and left parts.

Welcome back, everyone. Let's look at our next problem. This anatomical plane is a vertical cut that separates the left and right sides, unequally, a sagittal plane, B, parasagittal plane, C midline or D Coronal plane. So the key things here are that we have a vertical cut that separates the body into left and right sides, that's as opposed to front and back. So that lets us eliminate choice the coronal plane, a coronal plane otherwise known as a frontal plane separates the body into posterior and anterior or front and back sections. So our meaning anatomical planes all separate the body into left and right sides. But the second significant part here is that it separates them into unequal left and right sides. And for that, we need choice. B parasagittal plane, a sagittal plane choice A is one that divides the body into left and right sides. But since we want to specify that they're unequal sides, then we need parasagittal to make that clear. And we, it's important to know that parasal, it doesn't matter which side is bigger and which is smaller or where the parasal plane is taken just that they're unequal. So doesn't matter where as long as they're unequal and then divides the body into left and right sides. And then finally, choice C midline would be referring to the fact that a Sagittal or I should say mid sag, excuse me, mid sagittal would se would specify that it separates into equal left and right portions or a median plane. So that again, down the midline of the body separating into equal left and right sides. So that's why choice C wouldn't be correct. So again, the anatomical plane that's a vertical cut that separates left and right sides unequally is choice B the parasagittal plane. See you in the next video.
