• Frontal plane

• Transverse plane

• Coronal plane

What is the primary function of the sagittal plane in anatomical terms?

• Divides the body into anterior and posterior parts

• Divides the body into left and right parts

What does the term "medial" refer to in anatomical terminology?

• Toward the midline of the body
