Question

I need to pretend Im a shrunken submarine, that gets injected into an arm vein. Then I need to give a detailed description of everything I see, throughout my voyage in the circulatory system, including the lymphatic and respitory systems as well! How would you go about describing this trip, making sure to include all the medical terminology present in all three systems? I would like to think I could just watch Inner Space/ Osmosis Jones/Or The Magic School Bus episode on blood flow, but they only give me a good idea of how I should picture myself on this voyage. I really need suggestions .

Answer 1

That really sounds like a cool project.
What I would do is find some sort of anatomical references that tells you what certain parts of the respiratory/circulatory/etc system you're in. That way, you could point out 'landmarks' as you described your journey through the human body ("On my left I could see the spiraling, grape-like alveoli of the lungs"). It might make it easier for you to visualize your journey by 'tracing' on a map of the human body as to remember where you were. Other than that .. Just use your imagination, keeping in mind that everything around you is on a giant scale compared to you.
Good luck! :)
