What is Sneeze ?
AHHH . . . CHOO!
If you just sneezed, something was probably
irritating or tickling the inside of your nose. Sneezing, also called
sternutation, is your body's way of removing an irritation from your nose.
When the inside of your nose gets a tickle, a
message is sent to a special part of your brain called the sneeze center. The
sneeze center then sends a message to all the muscles that have to work
together to create the amazingly complicated process that we call the sneeze.
Some of the muscles involved are the abdominal
(belly) muscles, the chest muscles, the diaphragm (the large muscle beneath
your lungs that makes you breathe), the muscles that control your vocal cords,
and muscles in the back of your throat. Don't forget the eyelid muscles! Did
you know that you always close your eyes when you sneeze?
Most anything that can irritate the inside of
your nose can start a sneeze. Some common things include dust, cold air, or
pepper. When you catch a cold in your nose, a virus has made a temporary home
there and is causing lots of swelling and irritation. Some people have
allergies, and they sneeze when they are exposed to certain things, such as
animal dander (which comes from the skin of many common pets) or pollen (which
comes from some plants).
Do you know anyone who sneezes when they step
outside into the sunshine? About 1 out of every 3 people sneezes when exposed
to bright light. They are called photic
sneezers (photic means light). If you are a photic sneezer, you got it from one
of your parents because it is an inherited trait. You could say that it runs in
your family. Most people have some sensitivity to light that can trigger a
sneeze.
