Transverseaxis - this line runs from left to right through the centre of the body. For example, when a person performs a somersault they rotate around this axis.

Movement Examples: Movements in the transverse plane, such as rotation, occur around the vertical axis. Example: Turning your head to look over your shoulder (neck rotation) or twisting your torso (spinal rotation).
Transverse (medial-lateral) axis: This axis runs from side to side. Movements around the transverseaxis are forward and backward motions, such as somersaults, bending your knees, or flexing and extending your elbows.

One of the common planes (axial or transverse plane) utilized in medical imaging, such as CT scans or MRIs, to create cross-sectional images of the body is the transverseaxis.
The transverseaxis, also referred to as the horizontal axis, runs from one side of the body to the other, perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. Movements around this axis involve flexion and extension, where a body part bends or straightens.
Involves rotation in the same plane as rotational joint movements (Transverse plane). Examples: 360° pirouette in ice skating, discus thrower spinning, split in netball when taking a shot.
Movements on a transverse plane (rotation) take place around a longitudinal axis running from top to bottom (like a pole). Any movements that involve spinning around the centre poles are rotations. Examples include throwing a discus, a hammer throw and a 360 degrees ice-skating spin.
The transverseaxis, a crucial component in geometry and physics, is closely related to the concepts of ellipse, hyperbola, parabola, and conics. It serves as a fundamental axis in these curves and shapes, playing a significant role in defining their properties and characteristics.
