The contraction of the muscles also control movements of the eyelids. Have you ever realized, each time sneezing without conscious your eyes shut? A researcher successfully proposed a scientific reason why this happens.
Sneezing or scientific language sternutation reflex, function to protect the streets of the nose from foreign particles by forcing the lungs to blow air with the speed of 10-mph or 16.9 kilometers per hour.
As released from the regulatory live science, not only remove the air and foreign particles. Sneezing also stimulates the brain stem from the esophagus to sfingter causing the contraction of the muscles. The contraction of the muscles also controls the movements of the eyes so that the eyes will close by itself. Some people sneezing even seductive tears.
Dr. David Huston, dean in Texas A&M College of Medicine Houston as well as allergy experts in Houston Methodist Hospital list, people close their eyes when sneezing to prevent the particles that are released into their eyes.
"With automatically close the eyelids when sneezing occurs, iritan is more potentially prevented will enter and exacerbates the eyes," said Huston.
However, Huston added that basically, people can try to keep their eyes open during sneezing. In addition, they do not need to worry about the eyeball that will come out as the myth that developed during this.
Previously, a New York Times article on 1882, wrote that a person experiencing the eyeball thighs after sneezing quite severe.
"There is little or no evidence to support that claim. The pressure is released when sneezing it is very unlikely to cause the eyeball out, even if your eyes open," said Huston.
On the contrary, increasing pressure from sneezing that hardware thus causing the development of the blood vessels, not in the eye or the muscles surrounding them. The increased vascular pressure this can cause capillaries burst, when damaged, often appear in the eyeball or the face of a man.
"For example, when a birth was exerting pressure excessive force can be induced some blood vessels suffered bleeding, makes the eyes or face of the mother looks red or was bruised, but it does not mean that the pressure can make the eyes out of place," said Huston.
