anatomically correct
True to life
Anatomically correct describes a representation—usually a doll, model, or illustration—that depicts body parts as they actually exist, including genitals.
The phrase arose as manufacturers began making dolls with realistic anatomy rather than smooth, featureless bodies: The anatomically correct doll helped investigators interview the child.
More broadly, it means faithful to real human or animal anatomy.
