what are the 3 different planes?
the
sagittal
,
frontal
and
transverse
plane
the
sagittal
plane divides the
left
and
right
side of the body vertically
the
frontal
plane divides the
front
and
back
of the body
vertically
the
transverse
plane divides the
top
and
bottom
of the body
horizontally
a
plane
is the
imaginary
line that the movement
direction
occurs in
an
axis
is a
line
about which the
body
/
body
part can
turn
the
sagittal
axis goes from
front
to
back
the
transverse
axis goes from
side
to
side
the longitudinal
axis
goes from
top
to
bottom
what are the three different axes?
sagittal
,
transverse
and
longitudinal
axis
what movement can occur at a sagittal plane and transverse axis?
Flexion
and
extension
(eg. a somersault)
what movement can occur at a frontal plane and sagittal
axis?
abduction
and
adduction
(eg. a cartwheel)
what movement can occur at a transverse plane and longitudinal axis?
rotation
(eg. a full twist)
