Hint: you will want to section the drawing sagittally and have the left (anatomical left) half of the cavities showing deeper organs only- ie on the left side show the kidney, ureter, spleen, pancreas, internal reproductive organs, bladder, etc and the right (anatomical) half showing the more superficial organs ie lungs, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, etc. These are only examples of organs, your drawing should be much more complete. Color code the organs by organ system. Please help I need to see drawing examples fully I keep drawing and throwing the paper awayarrow_forward
