What Sagittal Plane Axis?

What Sagittal Plane Axis?

Sagittal axis runs through the body horizontally from the left to right. Frontal axis runs through the body horizontally from the back to front. Movement in the sagittal plane about the frontal axis allows for front somersaults/forward roll.

What is the transverse plane axis?

Transverse—The transverse plane divides the body into top and bottom as it passes perpendicular to the long axis of the body. Sagittal—The sagittal plane divides the body into right-hand and left-hand sides as it passes front (toe side) to back (heel side).

What planes and Axis go together?

The frontal axis passes horizontally from left to right and is formed by the intersection of the frontal and transverse planes. The vertical axis passes vertically from inferior to superior and is formed by the intersection of the sagital and frontal planes. the particular plane that it is dominated by.
