English: Anatomical planes through a rotating model of a human brain with eyes but excluding optic nerves.
The figure shows three axes annotated as follows:
d: Dorsoventral or Axial axis (yellow)
l: Left-right, or lateral axis (cyan, blue-green)
m: Medial or anterior-posterior axis (magenta)
The figure shows three major planes annotated as follows:
a: Axial or horizontal plane (blue), that contains the lateral axis
and also the medial axis
c: Coronal plane (green), containing the axial axis and the lateral axis
s: Sagittal plane (red), containing the axial axis and the medial axis
There also is:
e: The eye position showing the anterior end of the brain
p: an example of a parasagittal plane (yellow);
parasagittal planes comprise the class of planes
parallel to (and therefore lateral to)
