Eject

From WikiMD's Wellness Encyclopedia

Eject is a term used in various fields, including medicine, to refer to the act of forcing or throwing something out, usually in a violent or sudden manner. In the medical context, it is often used to describe the expulsion of bodily fluids or foreign objects from the body.

Medical Context[edit | edit source]

In the medical field, the term "eject" is often used to describe the process by which the body expels foreign objects or substances. This can occur in a variety of ways, depending on the nature of the substance and the part of the body involved.

For example, the body may eject a foreign object that has been swallowed or inhaled, such as a small toy or piece of food. This is often accomplished through coughing or vomiting, which are both reflex actions designed to protect the body from harm. Coughing is a rapid expulsion of air from the lungs, designed to clear the airways of dust, smoke, and other irritants. Vomiting, on the other hand, is the forceful expulsion of the contents of the stomach through the mouth.

The body may also eject substances that it has produced itself, such as mucus, sweat, or waste products. These substances are typically ejected from the body through natural processes such as sneezing, sweating, urination, or defecation.
