The body and its “mechanisms” work in such a perfect and sublime way that we often don’t even notice the millions of processes that take place inside us at any moment. Get ready to get to know each other better!
With the help of the iridoscope you can observe the wonder and complexity not only of the human eye and its functioning, but also of some details of the skin or nails invisible to the naked eye.
By activating the pump, you realize how much the lungs can expand every time we breathe.
Your heart rate is tracked by a heart rate monitor attached to a beater; in this way it is converted in real time to the beat of a drum.
With advancing age, the auditory response to high frequencies and loudness decreases. Want to know if your ear is still a youngster?
Depending on the type of stimulus applied, genetic characteristics and muscle training, the reaction time varies for each individual. Find out yours, putting yourself to the test with this fun station!
Through the microscope you can see the details of the tissues of some organs of the human body.

Inside your ear the receptors which send sounds to the brain are called hair cells.
This kind of cells do not regenerate over time; with stress, like high noises, or normal aging they deteriorate.
The outer hair cells, which are tuned to sensing higher frequencies, generally tend to go first – hence the age-dependent hearing effect you have just tested.
Generally speaking, everyone can hear a 3000 Hz sound, while only 20 years old people can hear a 19000 Hz sound.
A person's vertical jump depends on various factors, including their muscle strength, jumping technique, specific training, and natural physical abilities. However, their height is not directly related to how high they could jump, but rather to the type of training and skills they possess. On average, an untrained person might be able to jump vertically from a standstill between 30 and 50 cm. Athletes who train regularly for power and explosiveness (such as basketball or volleyball players, or track and field specialists) can have vertical jumps ranging from 60 to 90 cm or more.
Iridoscope is a device which magnifies 30 times your eyes to see its beauty and complexity.
For instances, you can see the thin, circular structure, known as iris, responsible for controlling the diameter and size of the pupil.
The pupil is the hole where light enters the eye; its size is controlled by the circular muscle called iris. When light conditions change, the pupil dilates or shrinks in order to keep a constant flow of light in the eyeball, dilating when it’s dark and shrinking in case of blinding light conditions.
