Why after we complete peeing, the body will go into spasm (I expect this one to be easy, as one of the forumnites had already answered this before)?

Why do we have to take it several breaths before we sneeze (ah ah ah ah chooo) as compared to coughing where we don't need them... after all, they serve the same function...

My fellow mods are free to post any if they have... -

YES!!!Originally posted by cornyfish2000:Cuz of this phenomenon known as the gastrocolic reflex -
The gastrocolic reflex
The gut is connected through extensive autonomous nervous system whereby plexuses of nerves swerves through the entire gut to help in peristaltic movement of the food.
The stomach (gaster) is connected to the large bowel (colon) by one of these intertwined nerves and as food enters the stomach, this pressure reflex will stimulate the nerve to activate food movement not only in the colon but also in the small intestines (gastroileac reflex)... -
