How to snore
WARNING!!
VIDEO SHOWS SURGICAL PROCEDURES.
DO NOT WATCH IF YOU JUST ATE LUNCH.
JUST READ THE TEXT INSTEAD.
The noise of snoring comes from part of the airway (the tubes that carry air into and out of the lungs) flapping about in the breeze.
The video shows the four main areas where this can occur.
- Uvula (at 1:10)
- Base of tongue (at 1:52)
- Larynx (at 2:39)
- Turbinates (at 1:01)
Note that the endoscope image is "upside down" from what you may be expecting - the uvula is at the bottom edge of the screen.
