Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the terminology: The problem is asking about a plane that divides the body into anterior (front) and posterior (back) parts.
Review the definitions of each plane: The frontal plane, also known as the coronal plane, divides the body into anterior and posterior sections.
Consider the other options: The midsagittal plane divides the body into equal left and right halves, the sagittal plane divides the body into left and right parts, the transverse plane divides the body into superior (upper) and inferior (lower) parts, and the oblique plane divides the body at an angle.
Identify the correct plane: Based on the definitions, the plane that divides the body into anterior and posterior parts is the frontal plane.
Conclude with the correct choice: The correct answer is the frontal plane, as it matches the description given in the problem.
