Two women were arguing over a baby, each claiming that the child was theirs. They went before a wise king to settle the dispute. The king decided to divide the baby straight down the midline of the body, forming a right and left half. This cut is best described as:
midsagittal
frontal
parasagittal
transverse
The Correct Answer is A
A. Midsagittal: A midsagittal plane divides the body equally into right and left halves down the midline.
B. Frontal: A frontal (coronal) plane divides the body into anterior (front) and posterior (back) parts.
C. Parasagittal: A parasagittal plane divides the body into unequal right and left portions-not straight down the midline.
D. Transverse: A transverse plane divides the body into upper (superior) and lower (inferior) portions-not left and right.
