ROUND 1
FIRST SET OF QUESTIONS
PREAMBLE
Indicate how the given plane separates the human body.
1. Coronal plane
ANSWER: Separates the body into the front (anterior) and back (posterior) parts.
EXPLANATION
The coronal (frontal) plane runs vertically and divides the body into anterior and posterior portions.
2. Sagittal plane
ANSWER: Separates the body into left and right sides.
EXPLANATION
The sagittal plane runs vertically, dividing the body into left and right portions. A midsagittal plane divides exactly in the middle, while a parasagittal plane divides off-center.
3. Transverse plane
ANSWER: Separates the body into upper (superior) and lower (inferior) parts.
EXPLANATION
The transverse (horizontal) plane divides the body into top and bottom portions, often used in imaging like CT or MRI scans
