Knowing that he had much to cover, HM Hendrik began his lesson...

"I would like to pick up where I left off....I believe someone had asked me if I could show them what the inside of a dragon bone looked like. Alas, I was unable to put my hands on the specific diagram I was looking for. I did, however find an interesting figure of the internal organs that I thought you might like to see."

He pointed his wand at the stack of parchment on his desk and levitated it the first person in the front row.

"Jaren, would you please pass these out."

Parchment

HM Hendrik waived his wand at the board and an explination of the figure appeared.

"In this figure the lungs of the dragon are large and efficient. Air sacs that aid making the creature lighter for flight are visible to the front and back of the lungs, and are also large. The intelligence of the dragon is reflected in the large degree of encephalisation exhibited."
