# The three anatomical planes

Sagittal or lateral plane (left/right), coronal or frontal plane (front/back or ventral/dorsal), and transverse or axial plane (top/bottom or cranial/caudal). If we were planes (standing up, not in superman position), the rotations leaving those planes invariant are pitch (sagittal plane), roll (coronal plane), and yaw (transverse plane).
