Talk:Regurgitation (digestion)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
i want to know what regurgitate means not regurgitation
- It is the verb meaning "to engage in the act of regurgitation; to surge or rush back, as liquids, gases, undigested food, etc." (Antonio.sierra 05:40, 8 May 2007 (UTC))
[edit] Merge proposal
This article is factually incorrect.
According to dictionary.com, regurgitation means:
1. the act of regurgitating.
2. voluntary or involuntary return of partly digested food from the stomach to the mouth.
3. Pathology. the reflux of blood through defective heart valve
Another one from American Heritage:
1. To rush or surge back.
2. To cause to pour back, especially to cast up partially digested food.
Vomiting and regurgitating are, given this context, blatant synonyms (Source: http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=regurgitation&x=0&y=0).
I thus propose that we merge this article to Vomiting
