Rotation in the transverse plane is performed around which axis?

Explanation:
Rotation in the transverse plane occurs when you twist around a line that runs up and down the body. That line is the longitudinal axis. So movements like turning your head side to side or rotating the shoulder or hip inward/outward happen around this vertical axis, and the motion takes place in the transverse (horizontal) plane. The other axes describe rotations associated with different planes, not this twisting motion.
