What is the importance of studying organs or the body at different planes and sections?
It enables us to be familiar with anatomy and as future healthcare professionals it presents a few difficulties when studying. It helps us to visualize the different sections and navigate from one area to another with ease in terms of anatomical relationship of each part. Applying to this would enable us to have an understanding of what’s in front of us and what to do even if it’s presented in a non-conventional way.
