Chapter 7, Problem 1AAATB
Summary Introduction
To write:
The correct term used for the female external genitalia.
Introduction:
The reproductive systems of both sexes consist of external and internal structures that produce gametes secrete the hormones required for reproductive function and give a route to deliver the gametes through ducts or tubes. Improper development, disease, damage and blockage of reproductive structures can cause infertility.
