How is a cough and a sneeze different?

A cough is triggered from a foreign object or substance in your lungs which the lungs try to remove by expelling air directly from the lungs. A sneeze is triggered from a foreign object in your nose (nasal passage) where you very quickly close your airway (like holding your breath under water) your lungs build pressure and as soon as your air way is opened the pressurized air explodes out (over 100mph) to remove the object from your upper respiratory tract.
