What is the definition of the digestive system?
Digestion is the breaking down of chemicals in the body, into a form that can be absorbed. It is also the process by which the body breaks down chemicals into smaller components that can be absorbed by the blood stream. In mammals, preparation for digestion begins with the cephalic phase in which saliva is produced in the mouth and digestive enzymes are produced in the stomach. Mechanical and chemical digestion begin in the mouth where food is chewed, and mixed with saliva to break down starches. The stomach continues to break food down mechanically and chemically through the churning of the stomach and mixing with enzymes. Absorption occurs in the stomach and gastrointestinal tract, and the process finishes with defecation. (by Wikipedia.com)

Vomiting is a reflex that involves the expulsion of stomach contents through the mouth, and it is not characterized by peristalsis, which is the coordinated, wave-like muscle contractions that move food through the digestive tract. Instead, during vomiting, the diaphragm and abdominal muscles contract forcefully, creating increased pressure in the stomach and forcing its contents upward. This process is more about a rapid expulsion rather than the rhythmic, controlled movement seen in peristalsis. Additionally, the normal peristaltic waves may be disrupted during vomiting due to the body's response to irritants or other triggers.
