Body Planes and Sections in Anatomy

The video introduces the concept of body planes and sections, a fundamental topic in anatomy and physiology. It explains the importance of understanding different anatomical views, especially for clinicians interpreting CT scans or MRIs. The video uses a model named Skelly to demonstrate three main types of sections: sagittal, frontal, and transverse. Each section is explained with examples of how they divide the body and what they look like in anatomical images. The video concludes with a recap of the sections discussed.
