Body Planes

Body Planes

Body planes in anatomy are imaginary flat surfaces used as reference points to divide the body into sections for anatomical study. These planes are essential for understanding the orientation, relationships, and spatial organization of anatomical structures.
The sagittal plane is the plane that divides the body or an organ vertically into right and left sides. If this vertical plane runs directly down the middle of the body resulting in equal division, it is called the midsagittal or median...

Area of Science:

Veterinary Medicine
Anatomical Modeling

Background:

The need for accessible and detailed anatomical resources in veterinary education is significant.
Traditional methods of anatomical study can be limited in scope and practical application.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe the creation process of a life-size equine anatomical model named 'anatohorse' (Geoff).
To highlight the model's potential as an educational tool for veterinary students.

Main Methods:

The project involved detailed study and construction of an equine model.
Utilized available resources and knowledge gained during veterinary medicine studies.

Main Results:

A comprehensive, life-size equine anatomical model was successfully developed.
The model, 'Geoff,' provides a tangible representation of equine anatomy.

Conclusions:

The 'anatohorse' model serves as a valuable supplementary learning aid in veterinary medicine.
This initiative demonstrates practical application of academic knowledge in anatomical model creation.
