Question

A frontal (coronal) section is in a plane that ________.

A) is at right angles to the longitudinal axis
B) divides the body into left and right sections
C) divides the body into anterior and posterior sections
D) divides the body into superior and inferior sections
E) divides the body into frontal sections

Answer 1

The frontal (coronal) section is in a plane that divides the body or an organ into an anterior (front) portion and a posterior (rear) portion.

Step-by-step explanation:

The frontal plane, also known as the coronal plane, divides the body or an organ into an anterior (front) portion and a posterior (rear) portion. This plane is at right angles to the longitudinal axis of the body. It does not divide the body into left and right sections (option B), superior and inferior sections (option D), or frontal sections (option E).
