Imagine slicing the body through the coronal suture line, down through the head and continuing through the rest of the body to create two halves: a “front/anterior” and “back/posterior” half The Primary Motion in this plane is side-bending The axis pivots around an Anterior/Posterior axis

Imagine the body being cut into two parts at the umbilicus. The transverse plane or horizontal plane is an imaginary plane that divides the body into superior and inferior parts. The Primary Motion in this plane is rotation The plane pivots around a vertical axis

The sagittal plane is an anatomical boundary that exists between the left and right sides of the body; this plane runs parallel to the longitudinal axis. […]
