Sexual And Reproductive Anatomy Quiz
This quiz includes the "scientific" or "medical" labels for various body parts, cells and other elements of sexual and reproductive systems in human. If you have different words that you use for your own body, that is okay! It is your body after all. However, these words are helpful when discussing health with a medical provider or needing to discuss your body with another professional in order to seek help.
No matter what kind of body we have or what we call it, we are all valuable and unique!
