class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Action:<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>Coughing: Involves a forceful expulsion of air from the lungs through the mouth, often to clear the airways.<\/li>\n<li>Sneezing: Involves a sudden and forceful expulsion of air through the nose and mouth, usually triggered by irritation in the nasal passages.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Purpose:<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>Coughing: Primarily clears irritants, mucus, or foreign substances from the lower airways and lungs.<\/li>\n<li>Sneezing: Clears irritants from the upper respiratory tract, particularly the nasal passages.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sound:<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>Coughing: Often produces a variety of sounds, depending on the cause and intensity.<\/li>\n<li>Sneezing: Typically produces a distinct and recognizable sound.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Frequency:<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>Coughing: Can occur due to various reasons and may be more frequent during illness or exposure to irritants.<\/li>\n<li>Sneezing: Usually occurs in response to irritation caused by environmental factors or infections.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Physical Sensation:<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>Coughing: Can be associated with discomfort in the throat or chest.<\/li>\n<li>Sneezing: Often involves a sudden

forceful.<\/li>\n<li>Sneezing: Generally involves a more forceful expulsion of air.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Duration:<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>Coughing: Can be repetitive and prolonged,

id=\"Process_of_coughing_in_more_detail\"><\/span>Process of coughing in more detail<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Irritation Detection:<\/strong> The process often begins with the detection of irritants or foreign substances in the airways. These irritants can include dust, smoke, mucus, or even infections like colds or the flu.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Nervous System Trigger:<\/strong> When irritants are detected, sensory receptors in the airways send signals to the brainstem through the nervous system. This triggers the cough reflex.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Inhalation:<\/strong> The first step of a cough involves a deep inhalation, where you take in a significant amount of air.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Closure and Pressure Buildup:<\/strong> Once you&#8217;ve inhaled, your vocal cords close to prevent the irritant from entering further into the respiratory tract. The muscles in your chest and abdomen contract, building up pressure in the lungs.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Forceful Exhalation:<\/strong> The sudden release of the built-up pressure occurs through a forceful exhalation. This rapid expulsion of air from the lungs is what we perceive as a cough.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Clearing the Airway:<\/strong> The strong rush of air from the lungs helps to dislodge and expel irritants, mucus, or foreign particles that might be obstructing the airway.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Recovery and Relief:<\/strong> After the cough, the airways are cleared, and the irritation is often relieved. The cycle may repeat if the irritant persists.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Process_of_sneezing_in_more_detail\"><\/span>Process of sneezing in more detail<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Irritation Detection:<\/strong> When particles such as dust, pollen, or other irritants come into contact with the sensitive lining of the nasal passages, it triggers a reaction.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Nerve Stimulation:<\/strong> Sensory receptors in the nasal lining detect the irritation and send signals to the brainstem through the trigeminal nerve.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Brainstem Activation:<\/strong> The brainstem, the lower part of the brain responsible for vital functions, receives these signals and initiates the sneeze reflex.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Deep Inhalation:<\/strong> The reflex begins with a deep inhalation, where a significant amount of air is taken in rapidly.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Closing of Airway:<\/strong> Simultaneously, the soft palate (the back part of the roof of the mouth) closes off the nasal passages to prevent the irritants from entering further into the respiratory tract.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Forceful Exhalation:<\/strong> The body responds by rapidly expelling the trapped air through the mouth and nose in a forceful manner. This forceful expulsion is the sneeze itself.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Clearing Irritants:<\/strong> The sudden and forceful airflow dislodges and expels the irritants, clearing the nasal passages.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Eye Closure:<\/strong> The eyes often close involuntarily during a sneeze, which is thought to be a protective mechanism against potential debris being propelled into the eyes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Relief:<\/strong> After a sneeze, the irritation is usually relieved, and the airways are cleared.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>So far, we&#8217;ve delved into coughing and sneezing, which seem similar yet distinct from each other.<\/p>\n<p>Was it too much?<\/p>\n<p>Still, shouldn&#8217;t we be aware of and understand the unconscious actions of our body?<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re experiencing excessive coughing and sneezing, consider consulting a doctor for advice.<\/p>\n<p>for our healthy life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi there, During this session, let&#8217;s learn about coughing and sneezing, which are symptoms commonly associated with cold and flu.
