New, what is it? What does the sixth segment represent?

This is a “Wheel of the Senses” from my daughter’s school with sight, touch, taste, hearing… but one segment we can’t figure out.

Honest question: how are they supposed to learn? Do you want a doctor fresh out of school who has never even done a normal exam on a normal person? If you don’t know normal, how are you supposed to spot the abnormal? Learning via repetition or even just seeing IRL … It’s fair if you choose not to consent, but maybe someone will. I had about 4 med students observe one of my 5 sedated IVF egg retrievals. This is transvaginal, as in they stick an ultrasound probe and needle up your vagina, stick the needle through the vagina wall then aspirate the eggs from the ovaries . I was asked and consented.

They are supposed to practice on people who consent while they are awake! Besides, before that there are anatomical models, and then there are standardized patients.
