Why build your own anatomy deck

Most anatomy Anki decks for med school are shared by classmates or older students, and they follow someone else's lectures, textbook edition and region order. Cards written for a different course often skip the structures your exam will test, and they can include details your professor never covered.

  • Cards reflect your professor's slides and region order, not a generic textbook.
  • Spaced repetition schedules reviews so hard structures come back before exams.
  • Photos of lab handouts and textbook pages are read with text recognition.
  • Export to Anki is included on the Plus plan, so you can keep reviewing on your phone.
Example anatomy flashcards for med school
Which nerve innervates the deltoid muscle?The axillary nerve (C5–C6). It passes through the quadrangular space.
What structures pass through the femoral triangle from lateral to medial?Femoral nerve, femoral artery, femoral vein, then lymphatics (NAVEL: nerve, artery, vein, empty space, lymphatics).
What forms the floor and roof of the carpal tunnel?The carpal bones and grooved floor form the base, and the flexor retinaculum forms the roof. The median nerve and nine flexor tendons pass through it.
Which muscles make up the iliopsoas?The iliacus and psoas major. Together they are the main hip flexors, supplied by the femoral nerve.
Where does the thoracic duct empty?Into the venous angle, where the left subclavian and left internal jugular veins meet. It drains lymph from below the diaphragm and the left upper body.

Built from your material

Cards come from your own lecture slides and notes, so they cover what your professor actually taught.

Spaced repetition

Cards you miss come back sooner, and the ones you know fade into longer intervals.

Export to Anki

On the Plus plan, move your cards into Anki or export them as CSV, PDF or DOCX.

How it works

Upload your anatomy material

Add PDFs, PPTX slides, DOCX files, plain notes or photos of pages.

Review the generated cards

Check the flashcards against your lecture and keep the ones that matter for practical and exam questions.

Study or export

Study in the browser on the free plan, or export to Anki on Plus.

A deck made from your own material keeps the focus where it belongs. Upload the slides from your dissection lab or the PDF of your course reader, and the flashcards will mirror your lecture order, so each region you study this week lines up with what you were taught.

Your own cards also work better for retention. Writing the question yourself is one kind of practice, but reviewing cards built from your slides with spaced repetition keeps the material you actually need in front of you.

Frequently asked questions

Which anatomy topics should go on flashcards?

Put structures you need to identify, nerve and blood supply, muscle origins and insertions, and clinical landmarks on cards. Broad lecture overviews are better in your notes than on individual cards.

How many anatomy flashcards should I make per lecture?

Aim for one card per distinct fact you would be tested on, and skip facts you would never need to recall. A dense lecture often yields a few dozen cards, and you can trim them after reviewing the output.

Can I export my anatomy cards to Anki?

Yes, Anki export is available on the Plus plan at $99.90/year or $9.99/month. The free plan lets you study in the browser but does not include exports.

Is there a free plan to try it?

Yes, the free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study, and no credit card is needed to start. Students get 40% off paid plans with a school email.
