(a) Sagital axis: Passes horizontally from posterior to anterior and is formed by the intersection of the sagital and transverse planes. 

Example: Abduction/adduction 

(b) Vertical axis: It passes vertically from inferior to superior and is formed by the intersection of the sagital and frontal planes. 

Example: Rotation type of movement
