Answer;

-Abdominal and vertebral canal

Step-by-step explanation;

-The transverse plane divides the body into superior and inferior (head and tail) portions. It is typically a horizontal plane through the center of the body and is parallel to the ground.

-The abdominal cavity contains most of the gastrointestinal tract as well as the kidneys and adrenal glands. The abdominal cavity is bound cranially by the diaphragm, laterally by the body wall, and caudally by the pelvic cavity. Within the vertebral column, there is an extended cavity called the vertebral canal.
