Anatomical Plane, Frontal Axis, and Sagittal Plane Movements

Anatomical Plane, Frontal Axis, and Sagittal Plane Movements. In this video, I cover the sagittal plane, the frontal axis, and the motions that are possible at the joints throughout the human body. In anatomical terminology, the sagittal plane is also referred to as the median plane. And the invisible anatomical axis can also be described as mediolateral. Since this frontal axis is horizontal and lying in the frontal plane and running from medial to lateral, it is perpendicular to the sagittal plane.
