Question

activity 17 : quiz module : body orientation topic : structures / type : multiple choice (mc) what plane is highlighted? a. median plane b. oblique plane c. sagittal plane d. coronal plane e. transverse plane attempt: 1/1

Explanation:

To determine the highlighted plane, we analyze the options:

• Median plane is a type of sagittal plane that divides the body into equal left and right halves, but the highlighted plane here (from the visual) seems to be the coronal plane? Wait, no—wait, the coronal plane (also called frontal plane) divides the body into anterior and posterior. Wait, no, looking at the diagram: the blue plane is vertical, dividing front and back? Wait, no, the sagittal plane is vertical (left-right), coronal is vertical (front-back), transverse is horizontal (top-bottom). Wait, the highlighted plane in the image (the blue one) is the coronal plane? Wait, no, let's recall:
• Coronal (frontal) plane: Vertical plane dividing the body into anterior (front) and posterior (back) sections.
• Sagittal plane: Vertical plane dividing into left and right.
• Transverse plane: Horizontal, dividing into top and bottom.
• Oblique plane: Irregular angle.
• Median plane: Mid-sagittal, equal left-right.

Wait, the diagram shows a vertical plane that splits the body into front and back? Wait, no, the 3D model: the blue plane is along the front-back axis? Wait, no, the coronal plane is front-back division. Wait, the correct answer here is D. Coronal plane? Wait, no, wait the image: the plane highlighted (the blue one) is the coronal plane, which divides the body into anterior and posterior. Wait, let's check the options again. The coronal plane (option D) is the one that is vertical and separates front and back. So the highlighted plane is the coronal plane.

Answer:

D. Coronal plane
