{{Short description|Transverse plane in anatomy of hominid abdomen}} {{Infobox anatomy | Name = Intertubercular plane | Latin = planum intertuberculare | Greek = | Image = Gray1220.png | Caption = Surface lines of the front of the thorax and abdomen. (Transtubercular is bottom horizontal line.) | Width = | Image2 = Gray1225.png | Caption2 = Front of abdomen, showing surface markings for duodenum, pancreas, and kidneys. | Precursor = | System = | Artery = | Vein = | Nerve = | Lymph = }} A lower transverse plane midway between the upper transverse and the upper border of the pubic symphysis; this is termed the '''intertubercular plane''' (or '''transtubercular'''), since it practically corresponds to that passing through the iliac tubercles; behind, its plane cuts the upper border of the fifth lumbar vertebra (L5).
