Answer 1

A plane across the body that divides it into cranial (head-end) and caudal (tail-end) parts that are not necessarily equal. A plane at right angles to the sagittal and transverse planes. It divides the body into dorsal (toward the back) and ventral (toward the belly) parts that are not necessarily equal.
