What is the importance of studying organs or the body at different planes and sections?
Having a clear understanding of the planes and sections in the human body provides us with ease in describing and identifying the various structures and functions in their respective bodily systems. The proper use of anatomical terms with familiarity with the different body sections would make it easier for medical practitioners to operate, communicate, and collaborate with colleagues while assessing and treating a patient. The presence of planes and sections in the body can also help students in discerning which organ functions with specific structures within the site involved. Having the body sectionalized also enables us to visualize and study each part in great detail, avoiding confusion and maximizing understanding of how our body works during our day-to-day activities.
