Which plane divides the body into superior and inferior portions?

Explanation:
Think of how planes slice the body. The plane that runs horizontally across the body separates the upper (superior) part from the lower (inferior) part. This is the transverse (horizontal) plane. The sagittal plane splits left and right, the frontal plane splits front and back, and a longitudinal axis is a direction through the body rather than a plane. So the division into superior and inferior parts is made by the transverse plane.
