Top and bottom
Left and right
Front and back

The correct answer is: Front and back

In anatomy, the term "coronal" refers to a plane that divides the body into anterior (front) and posterior (back) sections. This is crucial for understanding spatial orientation within the body. The coronal plane is also sometimes called the frontal plane. It allows for the description of locations and movements in relation to the front and back halves of the body. Understanding this terminology is essential for accurately identifying anatomical structures and discussing their relationships in both clinical and educational settings.
