Why can really bad odors induce vomit?
In: 345
The fourth ventricle in the brain has a region called the emetic centre which controls the vomiting response. It can be triggered by many things, including blood-chemical changes at the medulla’s chemoreceptor trigger zone, but also by external stimuli like scent which stimulates olfactory receptors that transmit signals to the emetic centre of the brain.
