Excretions

Definition

Plural form of excretion; multiple instances or types of waste products eliminated from the body.

Kelly Says

The plural reveals something interesting: doctors and scientists need this word because bodies produce many different types of excretions (urine, sweat, mucus, saliva) not just one.
