Understand the Problem
The question is asking about physiological and medical concepts related to sneezing and the effects of loud sounds on the eardrum, as well as a request for information on a specific skin disease.
Answer
1. We sneeze to clear irritants from the nose. 2. Loud sounds can damage the eardrum. 3. Psoriasis causes scaly skin patches.
- We sneeze as a reflex to clear our nasal passages of irritants such as allergens, dust, or viruses. 2. Loud sounds can cause the eardrum to vibrate excessively, potentially leading to damage or perforation, known as acoustic trauma. 3. Psoriasis is a common skin disease characterized by red, scaly patches, caused by an overactive immune response.

More Information
Sneezing is an important protective reflex to expel irritants from the respiratory tract. When exposed to loud sounds, the eardrum can rupture if it vibrates too much. Psoriasis is linked to genetic and immune system factors.
Tips
Not differentiating between causes of different eardrum conditions, like acoustic trauma vs. infections, may lead to misunderstanding.
