Description

A yawn is a reflex in vertebrate animals characterized by a long inspiratory phase with gradual mouth gaping, followed by a brief climax with muscle stretching, and a rapid expiratory phase with muscle relaxation, which typically lasts a few seconds. For fish and birds, this is described as gradual mouth gaping, staying open for at least 3 seconds and subsequently a rapid closure of the mouth. Almost all vertebrate animals, including mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and even fish, experience yawning. The study of yawning is called chasmology.

கொட்டாவி (yawn) என்பது தன்னியல்பாக வாயைப் பெரிதாகத் திறந்து மூச்சுக் காற்றை வாய் வழியாகவும் மூக்கு வழியாகவும் உள்ளிழுப்பதும், அதே வேளையில் செவிப்பறை விரிவடைவதும், பின்னர் நுரையீரலில் இருந்து பெருமூச்சாக வாய்வழியே காற்றை வெளிவிடுவிடுவதுமான செயலைக் குறிக்கும். இத்துடன் கைகால்களை நீட்டி மடக்குவதை சோம்பல் முறித்தல் அல்லது நெட்டி முறித்தல் என்பர்.
