Artwork showing the vomiting reflex
Vomiting. Illustration of the human vomiting mechanism. An impulse from the brain (within triangle) stimulates the vomiting centre (red) in the brainstem. Nerve impulses sent to the stomach (blue organ), diaphragm and abdominal wall result in the forcible expulsion of the contents of the stomach. Vomiting can be triggered by overstimulation of or damage to the stomach, the balancing mechanism in the inner ear or the frontal lobes of the brain. Specific causes include hormonal changes during pregnancy, raised pressure in the skull caused by head injury or brain tumour, and overdrinking or eating

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork, captured by Science Photo Library, delves into the intricate mechanism of the human vomiting reflex. The print showcases a detailed illustration that highlights the various components involved in this involuntary bodily response. At its core, this masterpiece depicts how an impulse originating from the brain stimulates the vomiting center within the brainstem. As nerve impulses are sent to different parts of our body - including the stomach, diaphragm, and abdominal wall - they result in a forceful expulsion of stomach contents. The artist skillfully portrays these interconnected elements with vibrant colors and precise details. The red hue elegantly represents the location of the vomiting center in our brainstem while emphasizing its crucial role in triggering this reflexive action. Moreover, through shades of blue, we witness how nerves extend towards and interact with our stomach – symbolizing their involvement in coordinating this complex process. This visual representation serves as a reminder that overstimulation or damage to any part along this pathway can lead to nausea and subsequent vomiting. From hormonal changes during pregnancy to head injuries or even excessive consumption of food or drink – numerous factors can activate this intricate mechanism. By shedding light on such physiological intricacies, this artwork invites us to appreciate both the fragility and resilience inherent within our nervous system. In summary, Science Photo Library's stunning print provides viewers with an awe-inspiring glimpse into one aspect of human anatomy: showcasing not only its complexity but also highlighting potential triggers for nausea-induced expulsion.
