Help with A&P question

[heatherabel3]

So a friend is taking an A&P class right now and had a question on a test asking "What is an oblique cut?" and we are arguing over the correct answer. Is it a lateral cut or a diagonal cut? She chose one answer on the test and I say its the other. Are either of us correct?

From Taber's (19th):

"Oblique: Slanting, diagonal."

oblique - diagonal
transverse - across
