the diaphragm
A hiccup occurs when the diaphragm is thrown into spasms.
When you swallow and hiccup at the same time, the normal swallowing motion can be interrupted by the involuntary contraction of the diaphragm that occurs during a hiccup. This can cause an uncomfortable sensation in the throat or chest. It is a rare occurrence and typically resolves on its own.
The sound of a hiccup is caused by the sudden closure of the vocal cords in the larynx (voice box). This closure occurs as a reflex response to the involuntary contraction of the diaphragm muscle.
