We use the body every day, but do you really understand it? To better serve our body, we must first understand the structure and secrets of familiar human body. Today, let us explore the unknown body!
Current issue:
Hiccups people is how the case, hit the hiccups are hold on the fart did not put hiccups more than how to do, what is the solution?
'Hiccup' is almost a 'little trouble' for everyone to meet, hiccups when eating fast, breathing too much gas, or drinking too much carbonated drinks, and sometimes it's the gratuitous start 'Hiccups more than when it' unlucky ', feeling uncomfortable and embarrassed, how to ease it?
Why do people actually hiccups?
'Hiccups' divided into 'Habit Or Hiccup' for any organ or tissue, and What stimuli can cause hiccups? Let's look at the first part. What organizations are working when hiccups?
This important part of the organization, called the 'diaphragm', is a thick layer of muscle between the lid and the abdominal cavity that resembles the lid and piston, separating the chest from the abdominal cavity.
Diaphragm is the main respiratory muscle, diaphragmatic contraction, the diaphragm top down, the thoracic diameter increases, so that the enlarged lung volume, decreased pressure in the lungs, outside air through the respiratory tract into the lungs to complete the inspiratory, exhale, on the contrary.
When we say 'abdominal breathing', the main thing is to control the movement of the diaphragm, its movement directly affects the lung ventilation. Studies have shown that: diaphragm for each drop of one centimeter, lung ventilation can increase 250 to 300 ml. Breathing six months, the diaphragm can increase the range of activities of four centimeters.This is a great benefit for the improvement of lung function, is the elderly emphysema and other pulmonary ventilation disorders, one of the important means of rehabilitation.
How did that hiccups produce?
And the other organs of the body, the diaphragm also has a nerve distribution and blood supply. Phrenic nerve by the incoming and outgoing nerve fibers, when the hiccup caused by stimulating the introduction of the brain, the brain will issue instructions to make the diaphragm paroxysmal and Spasmodic contraction, the air was quickly sucked into the lungs at the same time, epiglottis closed, glotten suddenly narrowed, the air will be issued through the 'hiccup' sound.
Experiments show that stimulation of the vagus nerve or other nerve fibers can cause pharyngeal nerve transient excitement.
And the vagus nerve to breathe, digest the vast majority of the two organs of the system and the heart of the senses, movement and gland secretion.Therefore, hiccups and diet behavior is often related, such as eating or drinking too fast, suddenly eat into irritating food, In addition, inhalation of cold air, laughing, posture changes the intercostal muscles (also breathing muscles, located between every two ribs) suffered a sudden change in pressure, may cause hiccups.
In a popular way, one of your inadvertent acts scratches the 'itchy meat' of the diaphragm, and there is a burst of uncontrolled 'ventilation', so hiccups and stomachs have a certain relationship as soon as possible, but with 'fart' It does not matter!
Is it good for hiccups?
We know that from an evolutionary point of view, the human body retains, to its greatest extent, all the necessary equipment to deal with nature. Non-essential items gradually degenerate, such as the tail and the body hair Is there any hidden secret that 'hiccups' have so far been possessed? Is diaphragm spasm just a joke brush present (nor can other muscle groups be touched)?
Scientists have been tangled for years, giving a fairly plausible speculation in recent years that French scientists have found that hiccups are probably the legacy of amphibian ancestors who found that human hiccups resemble some amphibians that still hold gills When the water pump enters the gills, these animals also need to squeeze the mouth and close the glottis to stop the water from entering the lungs.
A breathing study team in Canada also believes that there is a neural circuit in the same way as breathing, coughing, and walking, and there may be a nerve loop in our body that is hiccups, and it is likely to be left over from the evolutionary stage, for example, tadpoles To half the time, with both the lungs that breathe the air and the gills that absorb oxygen from the water, the study found that the pressure pump activity in the tadpole mouth was almost the same as the hiccup at this stage.
That is to say that this is just a 'not yet degraded' useless function?
Hiccups are not born human beings, the fetus has long hiccup it!
When everyone is still a look at this force, there is a major breakthrough in research, that is, ultrasound examination found that two months old, there is no breathing exercise in the womb of the fetus will be hiccups.
There is theory that the fetus's respiratory muscle contraction is to prepare for breathing after birth, some people think this is to prevent inhalation of amniotic fluid .Mother mothers sometimes feel 'fetal movement' is a regular 'giggle' tremor, that is It is a kid who hiccups!
From an evolutionary perspective, researchers believe hiccups should be retained for their part: one effect may be to guide the baby's sucking to ensure that milk does not run into the lungs. Another possibility is to control the exhaust , So that the gas drained from the over-saturated stomach, but humans have long learned to give the baby a hiccup, and this acquired ability does not help to completely degenerate the innate ability.
But these are all just speculation, there is no experiment can clearly prove that, perhaps, and wisdom teeth, appendix has not been completely degenerated, the body's evolution is very slow, the body has not had time to adapt to advanced modern life.
Sometimes hiccups are more than suggestive of illness, so do not mind
Although this is a 'normal phenomenon,' do not need to worry too much, but it can not be the effect, burp duration may be long signal may be some diseases.
Hiccup more than 24 hours This is a pathological cause of hiccups involving the central reflex arc and the periphery of the phrenic nerve.Central lesions include: brain tumors, cerebrovascular accident, encephalitis, meningitis, etc. And the peripheral lesions Including: phrenic nerve stimulation such as mediastinal tumors, thoracic aortic aneurysm, esophageal tumors, liver tumors, etc. Diaphragmatic lesions such as subphrenic abscess, esophageal hiatal hernia and so on.
Some experts point out that this situation generally go to the hospital's gastroenterology clinic, the doctor will be based on how long the patient hiccups, age, whether there is any other history of the disease, in addition to burp along with other symptoms such as dizziness to determine whether other diseases For example, some people have acid reflux, heartburn may be gastroesophageal reflux, subdiaphragmatic abscess patients will appear fever symptoms, the patient's body weight loss, etc. Generally can be diagnosed by gastroscope, hepatobiliary B-, tumor markers and other tests to early Found, early treatment.
How to stop non-pathological hiccups? There are no tips
Some popular folk circulated some of the more we do not recommend:
Healthy Brother Porter time, to find some reliable methods, and attached from the Sixth Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen, deputy director of Department of Gastroenterology Associate Professor pointing:
(1) drink warm water
Drink water in his mouth, take a deep breath and feel swallowed immediately when the hiccups.Ming Min associate professor said: 'Swallowing dysfunction and other symptoms appear, proper drinking is OK, and drink tea, soy sauce is more risk Large, in case of aspiration pneumonia caused by inhalation pneumonia is also very serious consequences, and it is difficult to alleviate the hiccups symptoms.
(2) hold your breath
First take a deep breath, and then hold it, try to hold it for a long time and then exhale, repeated several times;
(3) Use plastic bags
Zhi Min auxiliary teaching with plastic bags cover mouth and nose breathing, many suction, spit, making the incoming air in the concentration of carbon dioxide can also ease the hiccups;
(4) with feathers and other objects to stimulate the nostrils, induced sneezing, sneezing may also stop hiccups;
(5) to stimulate the throat, induced cough or vomiting, but poor cardiopulmonary function, high blood pressure in patients with caution with this method;
(6) emotional stimulation
Commonly used 'scared hiccups' method, in fact, is a kind of emotional stimulation .In this regard, associate professor said:' induced vomiting, emotional stimulation method is feasible, but also consider the patient's health status, such as high blood pressure , Heart disease and other patients with poor cardiopulmonary function should be used with caution, so as not to cause more serious consequences.
Finally, the Guinness Book of Guinness records two hiccups:
People who hiccups for the longest time: Charles Osborne, from the United States, hiccups for 68 years from 1922 to 1990.
The man with the highest hiccups: British man Paul Hoon, who hit a record of 109.9 dB hiccups, is equivalent to the noise emitted by a weeder at work, so far no one can break the record.
