Question

A cut parallel to the midsagittal plane would produce a(n) ________ section.
A) frontal
B) transverse
C) oblique
D) parasagittal
E) coronal

Accepted Answer

A cut parallel to the midsagittal plane would produce two halves of the body that are mirror images, making it a parasagittal section. A frontal section divides the body into front and back portions, a transverse section divides the body into upper and lower portions, an oblique section is at an angle to the other planes, and a coronal section divides the body into anterior and posterior portions.
