Hiccups are spasmodic rises of the diaphragm beneath the lungs, usually caused by nerve stimulus or digestive irregularities.
Hiccups are spasmodic rises of the diaphragm beneath the lungs, usually caused by nerve stimulus or digestive irregularities.
Eating too quickly or too much, an irritation in the stomach or the throat or feeling nervous or excited can irritate the phrenic nerve and cause hiccups. Certain diseases and damage to the nerve can also cause them.
Hiccups are involuntary spasms of the lungs associated with esophageal irritations. They are triggered by the phrenic and vagus nerves.
Virtually everyone experiences hiccups, but they rarely last long or require a doctor's care. Occasionally, a bout of hiccups will last longer than two days, earning it the name
Most common cause is a spasm of the veges nerve, which causes a twitch to occur in the diaphragm. People get hiccups for drinking to much water
no ventricular diastole is responsible for nerve impulse
Splanchnic nerve

What are Hiccups?Hiccups are involuntary spasms of the diaphragm muscles that draw air into the lungs. Hiccups occur when the diaphragm becomes irritated, causing it to contract suddenly and involuntarily. As the diaphragm contracts, the opening between the vocal cords (glottis) snaps shut, causing the hiccup sound. Hiccups are usually caused when the nerve that extends from the neck to the chest is irritated (the phrenic and vagus nerves).
