Fancy words for everyday things
I found a list that I was compiling somewhere along the line, so for your entertainment, I give you:
This is not near complete, but it gives you a few of them.
Meanwhile I have finally plowed my way through the last chapter of the anatomy book, so all I have to do is review and I'm done there. Meanwhile, I have also started working on the coding material. The second chapter of coding is a review of anatomy and terminology, so maybe I can overlap those and use it to study for my anatomy final!
