Paper 1
A horizontal plane dividing the body into upper and lower portions.
Revise: Movement Planes and Rotation AxesThe transverse plane is horizontal and divides the body into upper and lower portions. Imagine a flat sheet passing across the waist.
Name both the plane and the axis when asked: sagittal plane–transverse axis; transverse plane–longitudinal axis; frontal plane–sagittal axis.
Do not match planes and axes simply by their names: the transverse plane pairs with the longitudinal axis.
