Kidneys are pretty cool. They do lots of things.
The following words make my head hurt
* Extracellular
* Interstitial
* Intracellular
I know what they all mean, and can use them appropriately, but I can't use them without thinking about it.
Also, during my previous degree, we said "resorption" instead of "reabsorption" and used mM instead of mmol/L. Resorption saves TWO letters and mM saves FOUR keystrokes (or three if you count using shift to make the big M, however I don't as they are hit simultaneously). And they save loads of time if one is writing with pen! But in medicine, none of the lecturers seem to use either of those terms. However I am a non-conformist and use them anyway in my notes.
