like to hold back? Thats what I think, I always second guess myself

Involuntary withholding of bodily wastes or secretions that are normally eliminated. By definition...

As in 'Finawin's retention by the school system was shortened abruptly'.

Yah I pretty much second this.
Seriously there has to be an online medical dictionary?

Or look in your textbook.

she wont accept textbook answers, Darcler. She wants us to understand what we are talking about and not just recite a meaning from a textbook. No easy A's here, we have to study our asses off.

You really didn't know a non-textbook definition for retention? Comes from the word retain, as in hold back

Take the book definition and reword it.

Sorry, I skim when I read.
Why wouldnt a medical textbook have a word needed for class in it? Craziness.

Its a comprehensive exam, so not only what is in our books, but what she lectures on. Thanks for the help, I have it now.

Man college sounds like such a pain in the ass. I am glad I dropped out to start my own company. When someone doesn't like my definition for a word they get fired post haste!

This wasn't even mentioned on the test. What a rip. The closest thing was Ischemia which is the holding back of blood to a part of the body
