It has also been suggested that the distancebetween the central point and the suprasternal notchshould likewise be bisected by a plane, the thoracic plane,which crosses the gladiolus at the level of some part of * N.B.—Most of the planes mentioned in the text were first putforward by Dr. C. Addison, Lecturer and Senior Demonstrator ofAnatomy, St. Bartholomews Hospital, to whom the credit is due. THE ABDOMINAL AND THORACIC PLANES Level of hard palate = first cervical. Level of free margin of upper teeth = second cervical. Level of hyoid bone = second to third cervical. Level of upper part of thyroid cartdage = fourth cervical.

This plane is, however, of little value, and isFig. xviii. merely mentioned as completing the sym-metrical subdivision of the median vertical plane intofour equal parts. The following planes are, therefore, chosen as the mostscientific in the subdivision of the anterior aspect of thetrunk: Two vertical planes—(i) The median; (2) the lateral. Three transverse planes—(i) The intertubercular; (2) thetranspyloric; (3) the thoracic. Two important points are also named—(i) The centralpoint; (2) the lateral central point. The abdominal regions mapped out by the intersectionof the transpyloric and intertubercular planes with thelateral vertical planes receive the same n
