Question

i have to model the event of lung cancer spreading, i have a thick piece of styrafoam to cut out lung shapes but google didnt help me figure what to make it look like or anything. please help, its due in 2 days.

Answer 1

u cood , like use cotton balls and then put food die on it. as the cotton absorbs the food die , it could represent the cancer spreading  

Answer 2

Start with an image like this http://z.about.com/f/p/440/graphics/imag... and draw arrows to the brain, liver, adrenal glands, and bones (perhaps the ribs,spine, pelvis, humerus and femur - that's where I've seen lung cancers spread most often to bone.)

I don't know what grade you are in or how much anatomy you know.  I think I would do this on poster board rather than styrofoam unless you want to cut out organ shapes and glue them to poster board.  A drawing/painting would be easier.

Good Luck!

Added note

Here's another image more like what I'm suggesting.

I forgot to mention lymph nodes which are also sites for metastatic disease - usually in the mediastinum or the supraclaviclur areas.  Wish I was there to help you.  You may need to brush up on anatomy to know what I'm talking about.  But this picture should help you.
