Learn Anatomy

Anatomy is learned from diagrams, and it's tested on them. Image occlusion hides the labels on a diagram so you name each structure from where it sits.

An image occlusion lesson with the labels on a brain diagram masked — Each label is hidden until you recall it.

Four ways to study anatomy

Mask the labels on a diagram

Upload a labeled diagram and draw a box over each label. In a lesson the boxes hide the names and you fill them in one at a time.

Image occlusion

Let Interact find the labels

On a diagram with many labels, Find labels reads the text in the image and places the boxes for you. Adjust any that are off.

Find labels

Use blanks for function

Location is half of it. For what a structure does, a sentence with a blank works well: "The cerebellum coordinates balance and fine movement."

Fill in the blanks

Make cards from lecture slides

Upload the slide deck or a chapter as a PDF and Interact drafts cards and quizzes from it.

Why diagrams beat lists

A list of the lobes of the brain tells you their names. A diagram tells you which one is at the back. Recalling a label in place ties the name to the position, which is what a practical exam asks for.

The same approach works for histology slides, muscle attachments, nerve pathways, and any other labeled figure in your course.

Start with a prompt

The Describe option on the Create page turns a sentence into a set of interactives. This one is a reasonable first set. Change it to match what you're studying.

Common questions

Where do I get diagrams?

Use the figures from your lecture slides or textbook, or a photo of your own drawing. Any image file works.

Does it work for unlabeled images?

Yes. Draw a box over a region and type the answer yourself.

Is this the same as Anki image occlusion?

The idea is the same. Interact adds automatic label finding and plays occlusions in the same lesson as your other cards.

Is it free?

Drawing occlusions by hand is unlimited on every plan. Find labels counts as one AI generation, and the free plan includes 10 a month.
