A transverse section (also known as a cross-section or horizontal section) cuts the body horizontally, dividing it into upper and lower portions. A sagittal section divides the body into left and right portions, a frontal section (also known as a coronal section) divides the body into front and back portions, and a coronal section is a type of frontal section specifically dividing the body into crown (upper) and foot (lower) portions.
