When you hiccup, your diaphragm and nearby muscles convulse, causing you to briefly gulp air. Within 35 milliseconds the glottis (the opening at the top of the air passage) slams shut, producing the characteristic "hic."

hic
During a hiccup, the epiglottis closes over the trachea to prevent food or liquid from entering the airway, which is a protective mechanism. This closure occurs as part of the reflex that triggers the sudden contraction of the diaphragm, leading to the characteristic "hic" sound. The pharynx itself does not close; rather, it serves as a passageway that connects the mouth and nasal cavity to the esophagus and trachea.
