If you wish to make a drawing of a section through the human body that showed the heart and both of the lungs, your section could be in which of the following planes? (1) Frontal (coronal); (2) Transverse; (3) Sagittal

Respuesta :

Answer:

The correct answer is 1, Frontal or coronal plane.

Explanation:

Three traditional planes are belong to the three dimensions in space. Each plane is perpendicular to the other two planes.

  • Sagittal plane: Also called the anterior-posterior plane. It is a vertical cut that goes from the anterior part of the body to the posterior part of the body, dividing it in the right half and left half.
  • Frontal plane: Also called the coronal plane. It represents a vertical cut that goes through the body from side to side, dividing in anterior half and posterior half. It is perpendicular to the sagittal plane.  
  • Transverse plane: Also called horizontal plane. It divides the body in a superior part and an inferior part.  

In a frontal plane drawing through the human body, it is possible to see the heart and both of the lungs, as the cut divides the body in anterior and posterior half.
