Planes of the Body

Question 18 • Health Science Concepts - 248258-Fall (EL3602)

Which of the following body parts would be found on opposite sides of a transverse plane drawn through the center of the body?

Answer
A
heel and big toe
B
chest and knees
C
left elbow and right elbow
D
hips and top of the head

Explanation

A transverse plane divides the body into upper (superior) and lower (inferior) portions. The chest is above the knees, and the top of the head is above the hips, so each pair lies on opposite sides of a transverse plane through the body’s center. The heel and big toe are both in the lower portion, while both elbows are at roughly the same height.
