2.2.2 Frontal plane and sagittal axis

• Movements in the frontal plane occur around the sagittal axis.
• The sagittal axis runs horizontally through the body from left to right.
• Order the examples of movements by their corresponding planes:

  1️⃣ Abduction (Frontal Plane)

  2️⃣ Flexion (Sagittal Plane)

  3️⃣ Rotation (Transverse Plane)
• Which plane does the sagittal axis relate to?

  Frontal plane
• The sagittal axis runs horizontally through the body from left to right.
• What is the direction of the sagittal axis?

  Left to right
• Which axis is associated with the frontal plane of movement?

  Sagittal axis
• What type of movements occur in the transverse plane around the vertical axis?

  Rotation, circumduction
• What are two examples of movements in the frontal plane around the sagittal axis?

  Abduction, adduction
• Arrange the following planes of movement and their corresponding axes in order:

  1️⃣ Frontal Plane - Sagittal Axis

  2️⃣ Sagittal Plane - Frontal Axis

  3️⃣ Transverse Plane - Vertical Axis
• What is the definition of the frontal plane?

  Divides body into front and back
• What type of movements occur in the frontal plane?

  Abduction and adduction
• What is the definition of the sagittal axis?

  Runs horizontally left to right
• What is an example of a movement in the sagittal plane?

  Flexion
• The sagittal axis is the axis of rotation for abduction and adduction.


  True
• What is the primary movement associated with the frontal plane and sagittal axis?

  Abduction
• What is the direction of the sagittal axis in the human body?

  Left to right
• Abduction and adduction are examples of movements that occur in the frontal plane.
• The frontal plane divides the body into front and back sections.
• What imaginary line divides the body into front and back sections?

  Frontal plane
• The frontal plane divides the body into front and back sections.

  True
• Match the plane with its axis of rotation:

  Frontal Plane ↔️ Sagittal Axis

  Sagittal Plane ↔️ Frontal Axis

  Transverse Plane ↔️ Vertical Axis
• The sagittal axis is the axis of rotation for movements in the frontal plane.


  True
