In the programme of the Department of Pneumology, visitors could experience how bronchoscopy works and also listen to how the second largest organ in our body sounds.

Experts from the Department of Medical Biophysics showed how thermal imaging works and how to use it to detect the different temperatures of different parts of our body. At the workshops of the Department of Anatomy, everyone could see how our bones and organs appear on X-ray images.

And how do damaged kidneys, organ tumors and other pathologies look under the microscope? This and much more was revealed to visitors at workshops prepared by the Fingerland Department of Pathology.

In the programme of Department of Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery, visitors tested their hearing, looked inside the ear and found out how its different parts work.

In the programme of experts from the Department of Ophthalmology, the Department of Medical Biophysics and the Department of Pathological Physiology, visitors learned how both healthy and defective lenses work and how basic visual defects can be corrected, they could have their visual perception measured, while learning about the application of visual potentials or they could have their eyesight examined by doctors as a preventive measure. Dr. Tomáš Soukup from the Department of Histology and Embryology introduced his lecture to the taste buds and the concept of intuitive eating, which allows us to take care of our physical and mental health through food.

The Department of Anatomy then focused on the "sixth sense", the human ability to perceive the state around and inside the body, specifically the senses from the musculoskeletal system. In the programme of the Department of Urology, visitors could try to hand over their sense of touch to a robot by controlling the da Vinci Xi surgical robotic system themselves.
