Which plane is perpendicular to the plane running through the spine?
Correct Answer:
Transverse
Explanation:
A plane that runs along the spine is a sagittal (midline) plane, which divides the body into left and right. A plane perpendicular to that orientation is the transverse plane, which cuts across horizontally to separate cranial from caudal portions. So the correct choice describes a horizontal cross-section: it slices the body across the long axis, rather than along it.
