Junction of the coronal and transverse planes

The line where the coronal (front–back) plane and the transverse (top–bottom) plane meet runs from left to right across the body. That left–right direction is the mediolateral axis, which in standard anatomical coordinates is the X-axis. So the junction of these two planes corresponds to the X-axis.
