Verified step by step guidance

Understand the concept of anatomical planes: Anatomical planes are imaginary lines that divide the body into sections, helping to describe locations and movements of body parts.

Identify the primary anatomical planes: The human body is divided into three primary anatomical planes: sagittal, coronal, and transverse.

Define each plane: The sagittal plane divides the body into left and right parts, the coronal plane divides it into anterior (front) and posterior (back) parts, and the transverse plane divides it into superior (upper) and inferior (lower) parts.

Consider the purpose of these planes: Anatomical planes are used in medical imaging, physical examination, and anatomical studies to provide a standardized way of describing locations and movements.

Review the options given in the problem: The correct answer is three, as the human body is divided into three primary anatomical planes.
