Anatomical orientation planes, artwork
Anatomical orientation planes. Computer artwork of a human body, showing the three different orientation planes (green) used as a reference in anatomy. These are: the sagittal plane, which divides the body into left and right (sinister and dexter) portions; the coronal (or frontal) plane, which divides the body into back and front (dorsal and ventral, or posterior and anterior) portions; and the transverse (or axial) plane, which divides the body into head and tail (cranial and caudal) portions

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate anatomical orientation planes of the human body. Against a clean white background, this computer-generated illustration highlights the three fundamental planes used as reference points in anatomy. The first plane, known as the sagittal plane, elegantly divides the body into sinister (left) and dexter (right) portions. It serves as a crucial guide for understanding asymmetry and lateral structures within our bodies. Next, we have the coronal or frontal plane that splits the body into dorsal (back) and ventral (front) sections. This division allows us to comprehend various aspects such as posture, movement, and organ placement. Lastly, we encounter the transverse or axial plane which separates our bodies into cranial (head) and caudal (tail) regions. By utilizing this horizontal cutout, medical professionals gain valuable insights into complex systems like nervous tissue distribution or spinal cord organization. With meticulous attention to detail and scientific accuracy, this artwork provides an invaluable resource for students, researchers, and healthcare practitioners alike. Its comprehensive depiction of these essential anatomical planes aids in comprehending human biology at a deeper level.
