Quizlt testing your comprehen 1. identify which anatomical plane-sagittal, frontal, or transverse-is the only one that could not show (a) both the brain and tongue, (b) both eyes, (c) both the hypogastric and gluteal regions, (d) both kidneys, (e) both the sternum and vertebral column, and (f) both the heart and uterus. understand anatomical

a) both the brain and tongue: transverse plane

b) both eyes: sagittal plane

c) both the hypogastric and gluteal regions: frontal plane.

d) both kidneys: sagittal plane

e) both the sternum and vertebral column: frontal plane

f) both the heart and uterus: transverse plane

Explanation:

Anatomical planes divide the body in different ways, the sagittal plane divides the body in left and right, the frontal plane divides the body into a frontal part and a back part, and the transversal plane divides the body in an upper and a lower part. All planes divide the body into two sections but from different angles.

A transverse plane of the head divides the head in an upper and a lower part, not showing the brain and the tongue in the same plane.

A frontal plane does not show the hypogastric and gluteal regions because it divides the body in the back where the gluteal area is and front where the hypogastric region is.

A sagittal plane divides the body into left and right, so one kidney is on the left and the other on the right.

A frontal plane does not show the sternum and the vertebral column together because this plane divides the body into the back where the vertebral column is, and front where the sternum is.

A transverse plane does not show the heart and uterus because this plane divides the body in an upper region where the heart is and in a lower region where the uterus is.
