Which plane divides the body into left and right sides?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Body planes are imaginary lines used for reference in anatomy. There are four types of body planes:
Frontal Plane - A vertical plane that divides the body into anterior (front) and posterior (back) portions.
Sagittal Plane - A vertical plane that divides the body into right and left sides.
Median plane - This is a sagittal plane but one that specifically goes through the midline of the body, dividing it into equal left and right halves.
Transverse Plane - A horizontal plane that divides the body into upper and lower parts.
Sagittal plane is the best answer to this question. If the question specified that the body was divided equally into left and right halves, then median plane would be a better answer.
