I see two ureters running from the kidneys to the bladder, one ureter cut, bladder pushed to right side. Urethra runs from bladder on top of vagina. Some dissection knowledge present.

Vulva and pubic mound are present, if not terribly well drawn. There may be some influence of vulva as a mouth.

Ovaries are present as is uterus. Muscular nature of uterus is shown along with fetus.

Clitoris seems to be missing.

There are extra pipes all over, with some going to the wrong locations, and things seem to be linked to the liver. The liver being involved is likely due to whatever medical theories were prevalent at the time, humors maybe.

I would assume that the artist likely took a lot of inspiration from animal entrails.

Ignorance isn't the same as stupid. Looks like a lot of thought was put into it. I would view this more as an early map than as an attempt at realism.

i'm honestly kinda impressed that it's this accurate, i certainly wouldn't produce something this accurate after looking at a woman's abdomen cut open, i'd be busy vomiting.
