The diaphragm is both a voluntary and involuntary muscle. That means that it works with and without your having to think about it. It works just like any other muscle, in that electrical impulses are sent from the brain down the spinal cord into nerves connected to it. The special thing about it, is that those signals come from two different places in the brain.

What muscle contracts to cause a hiccup?
A hiccup is the movement of the diaphragm. The diaphragm is in the thoracic cavity just under the lungs. This organ helps to squeeze the lungs when you exhale in order to get all the air out of the lungs. Holding your breath causes the diaphragm to move downward and stop this movement.
