Use the following modules in Visible Body’s Human Anatomy Atlas app to guide your exploration
of the reproductive system. You can manipulate the images to see different views and isolate each
structure. Be sure to select the book icon under the structure name to read information specific to
that structure.
As you explore the modules, locate the organs and related structures on any additional charts,
models, or specimens available.
Make the following observations, and note that you are responsible for all bold terms and diagram labels.
