Looks like a homework question. What have your textbooks had to say on the subject?

Vomiting is protective reflex, mediated by the vomiting region in the medulla.
This reflex can be triggered by various stimuli, e.g. cytokines in the blood, pain, etc. Efferent neurons fire and cause a reverse peristalsis (i.e. going upward).

Does this information aid you?

Thanks for the help.


We do have a policy though against simply spoon feeding homework answers to people who post homework questions. We generally try and guide them towards figuring it out for themselves.
