What is another name for the Horizontal plane?

• A. Horizontal plane
• B. Coronal plane
• C. Vertical plane
• D. Oblique plane

Answer: (A)

In anatomy, the horizontal plane is the transverse plane, a cut that divides the body into superior (top) and inferior (bottom) portions. It runs perpendicular to the body’s long axis and is the imaging term you’ll see as axial or transverse views in CT or MRI. So this option is correct because it names the same plane using a different standard term. The coronal plane is vertical and separates front from back, the vertical plane isn’t a specific standard term for a single plane, and the oblique plane is any angled cut relative to the standard planes.
