Answer 1

The section through the human body that shows the heart and both of the lungs can be in the frontal and/or transverse plane.

Step-by-step explanation:

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 the frontal plane and/or the transverse plane. The frontal plane divides the body or an organ into an anterior (front) portion and a posterior (rear) portion, while the transverse plane divides the body or organ horizontally into upper and lower portions.
