coronal.
Solution
The answer is the first one: oblique.
Explanation for each option:
Oblique: This is the correct answer. An oblique plane is one that passes through a structure at an angle, rather than being parallel or perpendicular to the standard anatomical planes.
Transverse: This plane divides the body into upper and lower parts and is perpendicular to the sagittal and frontal planes. It is not angled and therefore not the correct answer.
Sagittal: This plane divides the body into left and right parts. It is a vertical plane and does not pass through the body at an angle.
Frontal: Also known as the coronal plane, this divides the body into front (anterior) and back (posterior) parts. It is a vertical plane and not angled.
Coronal: This is another term for the frontal plane, which divides the body into anterior and posterior sections. It is not angled.
In summary, the correct term for a plane that passes through the structure at an angle is "oblique."
