There’s a few different muscles involved that do things that cause your body to prepare to vomiting, such as closing off the glottis (where your vocal cords are), opening up the esophageal sphincter and esophagus, then your abdominals contract to squeeze the stomach really hard. At this point, the only place for its contents to go is up and out of the esophagus.
