A conic section, conic or a quadratic curve is a curve obtained from a cone's surface intersecting a plane. The three types of conic section are the hyperbola...

The coronal plane (also known as the frontal plane) is an anatomical plane that divides the body into dorsal and ventral sections. It is perpendicular...

non-human anatomy, three principal planes are used: The sagittal plane or lateral plane (longitudinal, anteroposterior) is a plane parallel to the sagittal suture...

geometry and science, a cross section is the non-empty intersection of a solid body in three-dimensional space with a plane, or the analog in higher-dimensional...

sagittal plane (/ˈsædʒɪtəl/; also known as the longitudinal plane) is an anatomical plane that divides the body into right and left sections. It is perpendicular...

vertical plane Section (biology), a taxonomic rank that is applied differently between botany and zoology Section (botany) Histological section, a thin...

superior and inferior sections. It is perpendicular to the coronal and sagittal planes. Transverse thoracic plane Xiphosternal plane (or xiphosternal junction)...

Earth section paths are plane curves defined by the intersection of an earth ellipsoid and a plane (ellipsoid plane sections). Common examples include...

Cross section (geology) Cross section (electronics) Radar cross section, measure of detectability Cross section (physics) Absorption cross section Nuclear...

the axial brain flexures, no section plane ever achieves a complete section series in a selected plane, because some sections inevitably result cut oblique...

the Bilateria, the median plane, also called a mid-sagittal plane and related terms, is used to describe the sagittal plane as it bisects the body vertically...

In mathematics, a plane is a two-dimensional space or flat surface that extends indefinitely. A plane is the two-dimensional analogue of a point (zero...

A paper plane (also known as a paper airplane or paper dart in American English, or paper aeroplane in British English) is a toy aircraft, usually a glider...

In mathematics, a Euclidean plane is a Euclidean space of dimension two, denoted E 2 {\displaystyle {\textbf {E}}^{2}} or E 2 {\displaystyle \mathbb {E}...

geometry, a circular section is a circle on a quadric surface (such as an ellipsoid or hyperboloid). It is a special plane section of the quadric, as this...

parabola, which refers to a conic section that has a similar property of symmetry. Every plane section of a paraboloid by a plane parallel to the axis of symmetry...

A toric section is an intersection of a plane with a torus, just as a conic section is the intersection of a plane with a cone. Special cases have been...

cross section, there must be a boundary between the regions of compression and tension at which the fibers have no stress. This is the neutral plane. The...

plane through the object. In other words, a plan is a section viewed from the top. In such views, the portion of the object above the plane (section)...

plane of a revolving body is the geometric plane in which its orbit lies. Three non-collinear points in space suffice to determine an orbital plane....
