Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Saggital section

A. Transverse section is obtained by cutting the body or any part of the body structure in a horizontal plane.

B. The dorsal part is the back or the posterior part of any body structure.

C. The sagittal plane which is also known as the median plane is a plane parallel to the sagittal suture that divides the body into left and right halves (longitudinal, anteroposterior).

D. Proximal end refers to parts nearer to the torso.

So, the correct answer is 'Saggital section'.
