    Is the same. We’d call it the horizontal plane though. Dorsal takes a bend so it’s the top of the head and the back. Sagittal sections move medial/lateral and coronal sections move rostral/caudal again taking a bend down the neuraxis of the spine.

      Interesting! Thank you.

      Neat that the dorsal plane bends, I could see that disagreeing with the body orientation planes

        Also we just use anterior/posterior for the organism if you want to ignore the bend and talk about the face and chest vs the back and back of the head. All the other planes are ok.
