Identify the type of plane
Transverse
This plane passes through the head, body, limb or organ perpendicular to the structure's long axis.
Transverse
B is ________ to A.
Ventral
In the limbs, CAUDAL refers to the
back of the limbs TO THE LEVEL OF THE CARPUS in the front limb and TO THE LEVEL OF THE TARSUS in the hind limb.
The definition of VENTRAL Tap on the more ventral letter, A or B?
can be thought of as closer to belly/chest (trunk) or the corresponding part of the head or tail.
The definition of DORSAL
can be thought of as closer to the back of the trunk, head, or tail.
The definition of LATERAL
can be thought of as towards the "side" of the animal, limb, head, etc.
The definition of MEDIAL
can be thought of as towards the middle of the animal, limb, head, etc.
median plane
divides the body into equal left and right halves
The MEDIAN PLANE (or mid-sagittal) divides the head, body, or limb longitudinally into equal right and left halves.
divides the head, body, or limb longitudinally into equal right and left halves.
In the limbs, CRANIAL refers to the
front of the limbs TO THE LEVEL OF THE CARPUS in the front limb and TO THE LEVEL OF THE TARSUS in the hind limb
Dorsal plane is also known as
horizontal plane
The definition of PROXIMAL
is closer to the junction of the limb with the body trunk.
The definition of DISTAL
is farther from the junction of the limb with the body trunk.
Medial plane is also known as
mid-sagittal plane
two directional terms are combined to
more accurately describe the position of a structure. Usually, the first term used is ended with an o and combined with the second term as one word, i.e. cranial and dorsal are combined to form craniodorsal.
In the limbs, DORSAL is
on "top" of the paws and the "front" part of the carpus and metacarpus of the front limb and the "front" part of the tarsus and metatarsus in the hind limb.
Sagittal plane is also known as
paramedian plane
There is an unlimited number of paramedian planes
paramedian planes
A TRANSVERSE PLANE passes
passes through the head, body, limb, or organ perpendicular to the structure's long axis
The PARAMEDIAN or SAGITTAL PLANE
passes through the right or left side of the body, head, or limb parallel to the median or mid-sagittal plane.
A is ___________ to B.
proximal
A DORSAL (or horizontal) PLANE
runs perpendicular to both the median and transverse planes, dividing the body into dorsal and ventral portions.
For any structure, there is only ONE median plane.
there is only ONE median plane.
Plantar corresponds
to "planting" your feet
Palmar corresponds
to the palm of your hands
The definition of CRANIAL is
towards the direction of the head
The definition of CAUDAL is
towards the direction of the tail
The definition of PALMAR
would be the aspect of the front paw that touches the ground and the "rear" aspect of the carpus and metacarpus.
The definition of PLANTAR
would be the aspect of the hind paw that touches the ground and the "rear" aspect of the tarsus and metatarsus.
Transverse planes are often referred to as
"cross-sections".
There are four main imaginary anatomical planes that pass through the body:
1. Median or mid-sagittal plane 2. Sagittal or paramedian plane 3. Transverse plane 4. Dorsal (horizontal) plane

The surface of the toes facing away from this central long axis would be the
ABAXIAL surface.
The surface of the toes facing this central long axis would be the
AXIAL surface.
