Which of the following planes divides the umbilical region from the hypogastric (pubic) region?
A
Transverse plane
B
Sagittal plane
C
Coronal (frontal) plane
D
Oblique plane
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the anatomical planes: The transverse plane divides the body into superior (upper) and inferior (lower) parts, the sagittal plane divides the body into left and right parts, the coronal (frontal) plane divides the body into anterior (front) and posterior (back) parts, and the oblique plane divides the body at an angle.
Identify the regions mentioned: The umbilical region is located around the navel, and the hypogastric (pubic) region is located below the umbilical region in the lower central part of the abdomen.
Determine the relationship between the regions: The umbilical region is superior to the hypogastric region, meaning the division occurs horizontally.
Match the plane to the division: A horizontal division corresponds to the transverse plane, which separates superior and inferior parts of the body.
Conclude that the transverse plane is the correct anatomical plane dividing the umbilical region from the hypogastric region.
