Abstract

Vomiting is the forceful evacuation of stomach contents through the mouth. Vomiting should be differentiated from regurgitation, which is an effortless process. Retching is differentiated from vomiting in that no gastric contents are expelled. Nausea generally precedes vomiting. Vomiting may partially relieve nausea. Vomiting has developed as a defence mechanism, allowing the individual to expel ingested toxins or poisons.
