If you sneeze, even the people in the apartment across from you can hear it, right? The sneezing of another member of the house is no different from the buzzing of a fly.

Bride, Let’s look at the reason for this difference.

The nose acts as an air filter for the lungs.

Our nose contains a dense network of epithelial cells, tiny hairs and thick mucus. This network It protects the lungs by trapping particles. When particles accumulate, sneezing occurs to expel them.

It also wakes up when our noses detect high levels of sneeze-inducing compounds. There are immune cell populationsSome of the chemicals produced as a result of this immune response cause changes in the mucous membrane of our nose.

Pollen has a big influence on the formation of these differences. The body produces more mucus, swelling begins in the nose and signals are sent to the brain via the trigeminal nerve.

This signal is processed by a part of the brain called the medulla oblongata, and as a result Reflexive muscle contractions occur. So all this leads to sneezing.

On the other hand, our vocal cords close tightly as air is drawn into our lungs.

When enough pressure builds up in our lungs, all the air is expelled. The one that creates the sound of sneezing It is that flow of air that flows through the vocal cords. The shape and looseness of our vocal cords and other soft tissues in the back of our throat influence whether we sneeze softly or loudly.

In addition, lung volume increases during sneezing. It determines how much air enters and leaves our chest. So no physical measurement can predict sneeze volume, and some people with large lung volumes have very small sneezes.
