The assertion is true. Vomiting is the act of forcefully expelling the contents of the stomach and upper gastrointestinal tract through the mouth. It can be caused by various factors such as motion sickness, infection, food poisoning, medication side effects, and many other conditions.

The reason is also true. Irritation and distension of the stomach are among the strongest stimuli for vomiting. Other triggers for vomiting include psychological factors such as anxiety and stress, as well as neurological factors such as head injuries and brain tumors. 

However, irritation and distension of the stomach are particularly potent stimuli that can lead to vomiting.
