Assume that the body has been sectioned along three planes: (1) a median plane, (2) a frontal plane, and (3) a transverse plane made at the level of each of the organs listed below. Which organs would be visible in only one or two of these three cases? a. urinary bladder, b. brain, c. lungs, d. kidneys, e. small intestine, f. heart.

Hi, everybody. Our next question says body planes are hypothetical geometric planes used to divide the body into sections which of the following divides the body into a front section and a back section. Choice A, the sagittal plane, B, the median sagittal plane C, the coronal plane or D the transverse plane. So we're talking about dividing the body into a front section and a back section. We'd also describe that as an anterior posterior division that would be choice C the coronal plane that divides the body along those lines. When we look at our other answer, choices, choice A, the sagittal plane that divides the body along into left and right sections. And more specifically, the median sagittal plane would divide the body into equal left and right sections. So because it runs down the middle of the body, both sections being equally sized. Whereas a sagittal plane, it could be less than 50 50 just dividing the body at some point into a left and right uh with respect to its own position. So choice A and Choice B are incorrect. And then choice D the transverse plane divides the body into top and bottom sections or superior and inferior sections. So not what we're looking for. So again, the hypothetical geometric plane that divides the body into a front and back section is choice C the coronal plane see you in the next video.
