What type of cut would an individual need to make in order to create anterior and posterior parts of the brain?

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question asks which type of cut would separate anterior and posterior parts of the brain.
Option 1: Oblique. An oblique cut is angled and does not specifically partition the brain into anterior and posterior regions; it would create a slanted plane but not a standard anatomical division between front and back.
Option 2: Coronal. A coronal (frontal) plane runs perpendicular to the sagittal plane and separates the anterior (front) from the posterior (back) portions of the brain, which aligns with the described division into anterior and posterior parts.
Option 3: Parasagittal. A parasagittal cut is parallel to the sagittal plane but offset from the midline; it divides brain structures along left-right segments rather than strictly separating front from back, making it unsuitable for creating a clear anterior–posterior division.
Option 4: Transverse. A transverse (horizontal) plane divides superior (top) from inferior (bottom) parts, not anterior from posterior, so it would separate up from down rather than front from back.
Option 5: Midsagittal. A midsagittal plane runs along the midline to split the left and right hemispheres; this is a left–right division, not an anterior–posterior one, and therefore does not create anterior vs posterior parts.

In summary, among the given planes, the coronal plane uniquely provides a separation between the anterior and posterior regions of the brain, as it cuts front from back along a vertical orientation that runs laterally across the cortex.
