Signals sent from the human brain through the phrenic nerves induce synchronous spasms of the diaphragm. These spasms are common
Allisa [31]

Answer:

b. Hiccupping is a vestigial reflex that suggests a common ancestry between humans and amphibians.

Explanation:

Hiccupping refers to an involuntary contraction of the diaphragm that usually occurs several times per minute. Some research has suggested that hiccuping is an evolutionary remnant of amphibian respiration. This is because the mechanism is remarkably similar to the way tadpoles gulp air and water across their gills. This would mean that hiccups exist due to an antecedent to modern lung respiration.

It can function with the brain and can also function independently of the brain.

Dorsal root ganglia:

Dorsal root ganglia also known as dorsal ganglia originated as bipolar cells. They exists within the peripheral nervous system and they have special nerve cell clusters that aid in transmitting the sensory messages of pain and touch.
