Question 17 • 2026-2027 EDGE Human Anatomy and Physiology A
A transverse plane divides the body into upper (superior) and lower (inferior) portions. The chest is above the knees, and the top of the head is above the hips, so each pair lies on opposite sides of a transverse plane through the body’s center. The heel and big toe are both in the lower portion, while both elbows are at roughly the same height.
