This incredible footage was created using hundreds of MRI scans. 

The montage video compiled by Vox also shows a birth, someone drinking juice and a pair of lungs breathing. 

We see the mouths of two people speaking German and Chinese, and the different shapes made by their mouths, tongues and oesophaguses. 

Another clip reveals what a tongue does when playing the horn. 

Unlike X-rays and CAT scans, Magnetic Resonance Imaging doesn’t use harmful radiation so it can take more pictures. 

It produces detailed images through magnetic fields that map the position of water molecules, which exist at different densities in different types of tissue.
