AB Nausea  refers  to  the  imminent  desire  to  vomit  and  often  precedes  or  accompanies  vomiting.  Vomiting  refers  to  the  forceful  expulsion  of  gastric  contents  through  the  mouth.  Retching  refers  to  labored  rhythmic  respiratory  activity  that  precedes  emesis.  Regurgitation  refers  to  the  gentle  expulsion  of  gastric  contents  in  the  absence  of  nausea  and  abdominal  diaphragmatic  muscular  contraction.
