But here, aselsewhere, the viscus acts in concert with the muscles in theabdomen, contracting vigorously upon the contents, as in thecase of the rectum, bladder and womb, producing a reverseperistalsis, since this would assist the action ; for Nature con-centrates all her available force in expulsive efforts Theshort, loud inspiratory sound characteristic of vomiting isproduced by energetic inspiration suddenly arrested by thestronger action in the abdominal muscles. The above illus-trations will serve for impressing the matter (Figs. 127, 128). TBE ACTION IN EMESIS. 315 Thus the mesentery is forcibly compressed against thestomach under the energ
