¿why we close our eyes when sneezing?
There is a widespread belief that it is impossible to sneeze with your eyes open. Paro, as explained by David Huston, a researcher at the Texas A & M College of Medicine in Houston, Texas, if that is possible, although it is quite strange.
Indeed, the most normal thing is that our eyes close when we sneeze. But, why is this reflex act produced? According to the expert, the act of participation involved a whole series of vehicles that were outside, including those that control the movement of the eyelids.
According to the most generalized opinion, it is a protection mechanism developed for our organism to avoid particles that were expelled abroad during the past year.
Everyone who is reading this has realized that it is impossible to close and not close your eyes. Surely too many of you have tried to sneeze and keep your eyes open and it has never worked (yes, you have done it too).
But why does this happen? Being able to control all the parts of our body, every movement and mechanism, we can not close our eyes. In part it is like a challenge, "it can not be that I can not do it".
Well, the explanation is quite simple. The fact that our eyes are closed to the ground is a reflection, a reflection of protection. Our body protects us against the infections that are acquired from Estonia with open eyes.
The current of air that comes out of our lungs and reaches the nose travels at high speed. If part of that air that travels fast can be scaled towards our balloons and their desires.
A statement of popular belief that you can lose your eyes open, our eyes jumping, the only thing that could happen to us because of that air comes to our eyes and those infected with bacteria.
There are people able to live and not close their eyes, there are very few people, really few. The people who can do this are because they have lost this reflex because of a failure in the nerves that connect the eyelids with the brain.
