Sounds like a homework question...
Two examples of why scientific naming is important:
1. Common names lack identifiability - There are so many pieces and parts to the body that creating an anglo-saxon name for each would end up with a whole bunch of similar Words for different things
2. Importantly, Latin names have a fixed meaning (dead language!). What is diverticulitis today was diverticulitis a hundred years ago and will be five hundred years from now. English is a living language and Word meanings evolve. Dropsy sounds maybe like the affliction of most klutzes, doesn't it? Well, it wasn't!
