Which plane divides the body into anterior and posterior sections?

Explanation:
Front-to-back division is achieved by the frontal (coronal) plane. This vertical plane runs from head to toe and separates the body into anterior (front) and posterior (back) sections. The transverse plane would split the body into superior and inferior parts, while the midsagittal plane (a specific sagittal plane) cuts left and right halves, and general sagittal planes split left from right but not specifically front and back. So the frontal (coronal) plane is the one that divides anterior and posterior.
