Using a combination of 3D animation and advanced computer graphics, we’ll show you just how these two fascinating processes - which are happening constantly in our bodies – operate.
Our expert will give a demonstration of the four stages of swallowing and the mechanism of breathing, as well as providing insights into the effect of common conditions like asthma on respiration. We’ll also explain how some diseases can cause swallowing difficulties (dysphagia) and there’ll be a chance to participate in interactive learning stations afterwards.
