What is the importance of studying organs or the body at different planes and sections?
As nurses, we have to be very aware of what part and area of the body we are working with. We need to be able to properly communicate with the team of medical professionals for the sake of the patient. Mistakes can and will happen if someone is unable to properly convey which area needs to be taken care of. A deeper understanding of the patient’s needs can be accomplished by learning the planes and sections. Additionally, knowing where organs are located in regards to planes and sections is vital in understanding how they function in relation to the rest of the body.
