Anatomic planes
(Redirected from Sagital)
The figure shows three axes annotated as follows:
- d: Dorsoventral or Axial axis (yellow)
- l: Left-right, or lateral axis (cyan, blue-green
- m: Medial or anterior-posterior axis (magenta)
The figure shows three major planes annotated as follows:
- a: Axial or horizontal plane (blue), that contains the lateral axis and also the medial axis
- c: Coronal plane (green), containing the axial axis and the lateral axis
- s: Sagittal plane (red), containing the axial axis and the medial axis
There also is:
- e: The eye position showing the anterior end of the brain
- p: an example of a parasagittal plane (yellow); parasagittal planes comprise the class of planes parallel to (and therefore lateral to)
