The plane that divides the body into anterior and posterior
portions is known as the Frontal or coronal plane. Frontal or coronal plane is
a vertical plane that runs perpendicular to the sagittal plane dividing the
body into two parts the front (anterior) and the back (posterior). The Frontal/coronal
plane extends though the body axis that is along the body’s length. When the
subject is standing in anatomical position, the frontal plane extends in a
vertical direction.
