Which plane divides the body into left and right parts?

• A. Transverse Plane
• B. Sagittal Plane
• C. Coronal Plane
• D. Midsagittal Plane

Answer: (B)

The sagittal plane divides the body into left and right parts. It runs vertically from front to back, splitting the body along a side-to-side line. If it happens to go exactly down the middle, that special version is the midsagittal plane and it creates equal left and right halves. The key idea here is left-right separation, which is defined by the sagittal orientation. The transverse plane is horizontal and separates upper from lower parts, while the coronal plane divides front from back.
