Question restatement: This is a directional terms quiz. From the available options choose the correct descriptive term for: Median Plane.

Option 1: 'Plane that is perpendicular to the long axis' — This describes a plane that cuts perpendicular to the body's long axis, which is the definition of a transverse (horizontal) plane, not the median plane. It does not describe left-right division.

Option 2: 'Saggital plane that divides the body into two unsymmetrical halfes' — A sagittal plane can divide the body into left and right portions, but the median plane specifically refers to the sagittal plane that divides the body into equal, symmetrical left and right halves. Describing it as unsymmetrical makes this option incorrect.

Option 3: 'The plade that divides the body parallel to the back' — If we consider orientation, a plane parallel to the back (posterior aspect) would be along the front-to-back axis and typically corresponds to a frontal/coronal description, not the median plane. Moreover, the phrasing contains typos ('plade') which adds ambiguity, and the description does not match the left-right symmetry concept of the median plane.

Option 4: 'Saggital plane that divides the body into symmetrical L/R halfes' — This option explicitly references a sagittal plane and notes that it divides the body into symmetrical left and right halves, which aligns exactly with the definition of the median plane (the mid-sagittal plane).

In evaluating each choice, the key distinctions are between transverse vs sagittal vs coronal concepts, and whether the division is left-right symmetrical or not. The median plane is a specific sagittal plane that yields equal left and right halves, so the description that emphasizes symmetry in left/right halves is the accurate match. The other options either point to a different anatomical plane (transverse) or mischaracterize the symmetry or orientation of the division, leading to incorrect interpretations.
