2.2.2 Frontal plane and sagittal axis

• The frontal plane, also known as the coronal plane, divides the body into front and back
• The sagittal axis runs horizontally from front to back through the body, perpendicular to the frontal
• Match the plane or axis with its description:

  Frontal Plane ↔️ Divides body into front and back sections

  Sagittal Axis ↔️ Runs from front to back
• The frontal plane divides the body into anterior and posterior sections.


  True
• Order the movements associated with the sagittal axis in the frontal plane:

  1️⃣ Rotation
• The sagittal axis runs parallel to the frontal plane.

  False
• The frontal plane is also known as the coronal
• The frontal plane divides the body into front and back sections.


  True
• Abduction involves moving a limb towards the midline of the body.

  False
• Order the following movements from the frontal plane based on their primary direction:

  1️⃣ Abduction

  2️⃣ Adduction

  3️⃣ Lateral flexion

  4️⃣ Eversion/inversion
• The sagittal axis is perpendicular to the frontal plane.


  True
• Arrange the following planes and axes based on their primary direction of movement:

  1️⃣ Frontal plane, Sagittal axis

  2️⃣ Sagittal plane, Transverse axis

  3️⃣ Transverse plane, Longitudinal axis
• Movements in the frontal plane include abduction, adduction, and lateral flexion.


  True
• Movements around the sagittal axis cause rotations in the frontal
• What is another name for the frontal plane?

  Coronal plane
• The sagittal axis runs horizontally from front to back through the body.


  True
• Frontal plane movements with sagittal axis rotation include lateral arm raises and cartwheels.
• Match the plane or axis with its definition:

  Frontal Plane ↔️ Divides body into front and back

  Sagittal Axis ↔️ Runs horizontally from front to back

  Sagittal Plane ↔️ Divides body into left and right

  Transverse Plane ↔️ Divides body into upper and lower
• The term 'lateral' means farther from the midline of the body.
• Order the following movements in terms of their description in the frontal plane:

  1️⃣ Abduction: Moving a limb away from the midline

  2️⃣ Adduction: Moving a limb towards the midline

  3️⃣ Lateral flexion: Bending the spine from side to side

  4️⃣ Eversion/inversion: Rotating the foot outwards or inwards
• Lateral flexion involves bending the spine from side to side.
• Movement in the frontal plane involves actions such as abduction and adduction.

  True
• Movements around the sagittal axis cause rotation in the frontal plane.


  True
• The sagittal axis is perpendicular to the frontal
• Match the movement with its description:

  Abduction ↔️ Moving a limb away from the midline

  Adduction ↔️ Moving a limb towards the midline

  Lateral flexion ↔️ Bending the spine from side to side
• Movement in the frontal plane involves side-to-side actions, such as abduction and adduction
• Match the plane or axis with its movement type:

  Frontal Plane ↔️ Abduction, adduction, lateral flexion

  Sagittal Axis ↔️ Rotations in frontal plane
• What is another name for the frontal plane?

  Coronal plane
• Movements in the frontal plane involve side-to-side actions
• What is lateral flexion in the frontal plane?

  Bending the spine sideways
• The sagittal axis runs horizontally from front to back
• What type of movements occur around the sagittal axis in the frontal plane?

  Rotations
• The frontal plane divides the body into front and back
• What is the direction of the sagittal axis in relation to the frontal plane?

  Perpendicular
• Eversion and inversion are movements that occur in the frontal plane.

  True
• The frontal plane divides the body into front and back sections.
• What type of movements occur around the sagittal axis in the frontal plane?

  Rotations
• Lateral arm raises involve both the frontal plane and the sagittal axis.

  True
• What does the anatomical term 'medial' refer to?

  Closer to the midline
• The term 'proximal' describes something closer to the trunk of the body.
