What is the importance of studying organs or the body at different planes and sections?
-Studying the body at various planes and sections is important because it allows people to identify the parts of the body that they are dealing with and establishes a common vocabulary among different medical practitioners. For instance, it would be difficult for doctors to relay orders to nurses if they are unaware of the specific terms for the body parts of the patient or if they have a different interpretation of the terms used to describe a particular structure or region of the body. Thus, this identification and standardization of the different body planes and structures allows people to be on the same page at all times.
