It is a throat disese that is similar to strep throat. It causes your esophagus to close, making it difficult to breath.
It's one of those words like bang or swoosh that are based on the sound they are describing. When people hiccup, it sounds pretty close to "hiccup".
A hiccup drew everyone's attention back to the girl, those sitting close to her let out a quiet groan of annoyance as this was the fourth time now- in two days, everyone was getting sick of it.
No
Whenever you see a seagull up close watch out for his sharp beak.
The physical reason we hiccup is due to sudden contractions of muscles used for respiration, specifically to inhale. As the muscles begin to move, the glottis snaps shut and closes off the windpipe, causing the 'hic' noise associated with hiccups. The science world is still trying to work out the actual purpose of hiccups, suggested theories are: that it's a link to our evolutionary past as water dwelling creatures; that unborn babies hiccup either as a way to prepare the respiratory muscles for breathing after birth or to keep amniotic fluid out of the lungs whilst still in the womb; that it helps mammals learn to suckle (the sequence of muscle movements required for both suckling and hiccuping are very similar). None of these theories have been proved as yet.
whenever it closes, that's when.
your diaphragm, which is a muscle above your abdomen/stomach. it flexes in a spasm and makes the air it flexed go up through your throat, which is probably the air getting caught in your throat and coming out that makes the noise.
Some people might be able to survive a slit throat, but only if help is very close by.
