Diuretic action in the kidney

The narrated movie takes the viewer from the human silhouette down subsequent levels of detail finally ending on the transporter proteins which are the direct targets of most diuretic drugs. The movie is intended to show the flow processes within the kidney including such aspects as filtration, reabsorption, and excretion in the nephron. It also shows the molecular sequence of ion transport, how the diuretics inhibit the reabsorption of sodium, and the subsequent effects on other ions

Having studied in many different countries I've been faced with a plethora of pronunciations for scientific and medical terms. I've learned the way one pronounces, or spells, words in one area may not at all be like they do in another.

Simple Examples:

Respiratory

Skeletal

Fetal vs. Foetal

Esophagus vs Oesophagus

I've noticed these differ not only between countries but clinics, profs, etc. Better to just let an alternative pronunciation slide as it shows a lack of diversity in your education.

That was really useful! Renal physiology is often poorly taught and your 8 minute video cleared away hours of confusion!

Thank you very much for this video is was very helpful in clearing up my understanding of diuretics. It makes me a lot more confident with my exam now!

Novaprincess2004, two things.

The first, the comment you are replying to was posted in December 2008.

Secondly, I don't think you read my comment. Either that or you missed the message completely. My comment was to a fellow commenter who questioned the video's accuracy based solely on the alternate pronunciation of some terms. I pointed out the pronunciation doesn't really matter as it differs between countries, years, schools/clinics, and individuals, etc.
