Talk:Sagittal plane

Midsagittal should be merged into the page as a minor point - it's a sagittal plane that cuts through the nose. There's not enough info for the two to be separate. WLU 20:28, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Differences

The following paragraph should not be in this page, as it refers to the midsagittal plane only. Which should be merged.

Differences between the two halves, assymmetries, are found primarily in the heart and other internal organs, but subtle differences can also be seen in the two halves of the human face. Try holding a pocket mirror with its edge against the center of your own photo, showing one side reflected to make a whole face.

It's also proscriptive with the mirror bit. WLU 20:31, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

An image of an arrow piercing a body and passing from front (anterior) to back (posterior) on a parabolic trajectory would demonstrate the derivation of the term.

It would actually take two arrows to define it in this way, although one could define the coronal plane as being normal to the one arrow, if it struck just right. --70.131.60.45 (talk) 00:11, 6 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
