ANSWER:

The transverse plane, also known as the Trans axial plane or horizontal plane is an imaginary plane on the middle part of the human body that divides and segments the body into inferior and superior parts.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • It is at 90 degrees to the sagittal plane and the coronal plane. The superior parts include brain, head, eyes, nose, etc. whereas the inferior part includes legs, knee, wrist, toe, etc.
  • Meanwhile, the frontal plate also known as the coronal plane is the vertical line that segments the body into "belly and back sections". It is "perfectly perpendicular" to the transverse plane.
