Answer:
➡️A cough is a sudden, usually involuntary, expulsion of air from the lungs with a characteristic and easily recognizable sound. Although it is known as the most common symptom of respiratory disorders, it serves the functions of defending the respiratory tract against noxious substances and maintaining airway patency by removing excessive secretions from the air passages.
=>Expectoration or sputum productionis the act of coughing up and spitting out the material produced in the respiratory tract.
➡️The dynamic effect of a cough is the creation of an airflow velocity, within a certain portion of the airway, intense enough to shear and dislodge the secretions accumulated on the mucosal surface. Although coughing may be entirely voluntary, it is usually a physiologic reflex. As such, it is mediated through a reflex arc made of sensory receptors, afferent nerve fibers, a center, efferent nerve fibers, and effector muscles.
