Answer 1

One limitation of using a 2D computer-generated image of the digestive system instead of the actual thing is that the 2D image does not show all of the organs since some of them overlap. This means important structures may be obscured or omitted, making it difficult to fully understand the anatomy and relationships between the different organs in the digestive system.
