Medical Video: Types Of Sneezes
Have you ever sneezed together with someone else in a room, but the sound of sneezing was not the same? Or if you end your sneeze in a high tone, while your next friend ends his sneeze in a low tone? Sneezing is actually a reflex mechanism your body has. But why is everyone's voice and sneezing different?
What happens when someone sneezes?
Some things like certain powders, viruses, strong odors, cigarette smoke, cold air, dust and pepper, can disrupt your respiratory tract. When these things irritate or tickle the inside of your nose, the nerves automatically send signals to a certain part of the brain to clean them. This part of the brain then acts to continue the signal to the muscles in certain organs, making them cooperate, to cause a reaction we know as sneezing.
The muscles are mostly in the chest, abdomen, diaphragm (muscles below your lungs), throat and eyelids. The reaction caused by this tingling or irritated nose is more or less like this. Your chest muscles will press on the diaphragm which causes gas to rise along with the cause of irritation to your upper respiratory tract.
However, your throat and stomach do not want the gas and eventually expel it either by mouth or nose by sneezing, perhaps at speeds reaching 161 km per hour!
Why does everyone have a different type of sneeze?
When you sneeze a few times, while the one next to you sneezes only once, it might make you wonder. This type of sneezing difference is normal and is certain to occur. According to an allergist and immunologist ENT & Allergy Health Service of Cleveland, Todd Rambasek, this condition occurs depending on how much irritation or tingling your respiratory tract feels. In response, you will still sneeze until the cause of irritation or tingling is successfully removed, until the inside wall of your nose is completely clean.
In some cases your sneeze type may also tend to be hard-volume while your sister's sneeze type has a small volume, what happens? Although the mechanism that occurs as described above is almost the same for everyone, the after effects are influenced by a number of factors:
1. Anatomical condition of the body
An otolaryngologist NYU Langone Medical Center, Erich Voigt, said that the anatomical conditions in the body cause some people to emit air power from sneezing through his nose, some others through his mouth, some even through both. The difference in this channel certainly affects the strength of the sneeze that is released.
The anatomical differences in the body in the neck also affect the difference in sneezing-type vocalizations caused. The air that is released through a contraction in your diaphragm, passes through your voice box (larynx) and causes your vocal cords to vibrate, and ultimately creates a unique sound, such as "Hatchim!"for example.
2. The volume of air inhaled
The volume of air that someone breathes before the chest muscle presses your lungs also influences the different types of sneezing. Indeed, the greater the volume of air inhaled, the greater the volume of sneezing produced. The capacity of the lungs to accommodate different air volumes in each person will certainly produce different sneezing volumes.
Be careful, don't hold back sneezing!
You need to pay attention so as not to try to hold back sneezing, or hold back your sneezing power. This effort is feared it will affect the health of your hearing or accidentally release urine.
You also need to pay attention to how you take out your sneezing. Does not rule out the possibility that the discharge of your sneezing brings with it a virus that is able to spread a particular disease. So you should immediately wash your hands after you close your sneeze, or point the sneeze to the area around your arms when sneezing wants to come out.
