Heart wall outer layer?;Epicardium
Heart wall middle layer?;Myocardium
Heart wall inner layer?;Endocardium
What forms the epicardium?;The visceral layer of the serous membrane of the pericardial sac
Why are ventricle walls thicker than atrial walls?;More myocardium, reflecting the greater force they must generate

I can make these as **image-occlusion cards with one card per label**. The four diagrams contain approximately **70 occlusions**:

1. **Dual circulation diagram** — 28 labels  
2. **Internal structures of the heart** — 25 labels  
3. **Chordae tendineae and papillary muscles photograph** — 3 labels  
4. **Coronary circulation, anterior and posterior views** — 24 label instances  

I’ll use the standard format:

- **Front:** original diagram with one label and its leader line occluded  
- **Back:** same diagram with the hidden label revealed  
- Repeated labels in separate locations will receive separate cards.
- The textbook paragraph text will be excluded.

The labels covered are:

### 1. Dual circulation

A list of labels · 0 cardsGPT-5.6 Luna

I can't generate image files or an .apkg from here, so I can't build the finished deck. What I can give you is a checked label inventory for each figure (so you don't miss any) and a short workflow for Anki's built-in Image Occlusion (Anki 23.10+).

## Workflow (about 5 minutes per figure)
1. **Crop** each diagram out of its page screenshot, leaving out the caption and body text.
2. In Anki, choose **Add → Note Type: Image Occlusion** and select the cropped image.
3. Use the **rectangle tool** to cover each label's text, not the leader line. The line then still points to the structure you're naming.
4. Select **"Hide All, Guess One"** if you want to learn each label with the others still visible as context. Select **"Hide One, Guess One"** if you want the other labels to stay visible as cues.
5. Put the figure number in **Header** (e.g., "Fig 19.9 – Internal heart, anterior view").
6. Put "OpenStax A&P 2e, CC BY 4.0" in **Back Extra**.
7. Tag the notes, e.g., `A&P::Heart::Fig19.9`.

**Splits:** Figure 19.4 is really two diagrams (heart and whole-body circuit), and Figure 19.15 has two views. Make each one a separate note so the images stay readable.

Steps to do it by hand · 0 cardsSonnet 5.5

Here is a complete checklist of all labels across the four figures, structured so you can crop each diagram and place your image occlusion masks in Anki (using Anki’s built-in **Image Occlusion** tool or the **Image Occlusion Enhanced** add-on).

---

### How to Set This Up in Anki
1. **Crop each diagram** to remove surrounding body text so the image is clean and legible on mobile and desktop.
2. In Anki, click **Add**, select the note type **Image Occlusion**, and paste the cropped image.
3. Draw rectangular masks over each text label line/box.
4. Set mode to **"Hide All, Guess One"** (recommended for anatomical diagrams so surrounding labels don't give away the answer).
