| 4 Fundamental planes | Sagittal |
| 4 Fundamental planes | Coronal |
| 4 Fundamental planes | Horizontal/Transverse |
| 4 Fundamental planes | Oblique |
| Sagittal planes | Cut vertically from anterior to posterior, dividing the body into right and left portions, but not necessarily in equal parts |
| The Midsagittal plane | A specific sagittal plane that passes through midline and divides the body into equal right and left halves |
| Coronal planes | Cut vertically from side to side (right to left), dividing the body into anterior and posterior portions, but not necessarily in equal parts |
| The Midcoronal plane | A specific coronal plane that passes through midline and divides the body into equal anterior and posterior halves |
| Horizontal or Transverse planes | pass crosswise through the body at right angles to the longitudinal axis, diving the body into superior and inferior potions |
| _____________ planes are perpendicular to sagittal and coronal planes | transverse |
| Oblique planes | pass through a body part at any angle that is NOT perpendicular or parallel to any of the previous three planes |
| Special planes | are localized to specific parts or areas of the body |
| The Interiliac plane | cuts through the body connecting both top parts of the pelvis |
| ___________ is not always perpendicular to the table and very important for positioning! | The Interiliac plane |
| The Occlusal plane | is formed by the biting surfaces of the upper and lower teeth with jaws closed |
