Question

Briefly describe the mechanism of producing hiccups when we eat food hurriedly.

Answer 1

$\mathfrak{\huge{\blue{\underline{\underline{Answer :}}}}}$

Generally,when we eat,a tiny flap called epiglottis present near our wind pipe closes and prevents the food from entering the wind pipe.But if we eat in a hurry,then the flap gets less time to close due to which some of the food particles enter inside the wind pipe causing hindrance in the movement of air in the windpipe.

Hence,we feel like choking or get hiccups.

Hope It Will Help.❤️

Answer 2

Hey guys here is your answer

This happens when food particles enter the windpipe. The windpipe carries air from the nostrils to the lungs. ... During the act of swallowing a flap like valve closes the passage of the windpipe and guides the food into the food pipe. If, by chance, food particles enter the windpipe, we feel choked and get hiccups.
