median/mid-sagittal plane - CORRECT ANSWER-Divides the body into right and left halves
Movements of this plane are either flexion or extension
Flexion - CORRECT ANSWER-Takes the body part forward (example: roll up, flexing feet)

lateral rotation - CORRECT ANSWER-Takes a body part outward (ex: rotating hips outward)
medial rotation - CORRECT ANSWER-take a body part inward (inner rotation)
