| 表 | 裏 |
|---|---|
| Diaphysis of a long bone — what is it? | The shaft or central tubular portion of a long bone. It is built mainly for strength and weight bearing, with a hollow medullary cavity in adults. |
| Articular cartilage — what is it? | Smooth hyaline cartilage that covers the joint surfaces of bones. It reduces friction and helps absorb compressive force in synovial joints. |
| Femur — what is it? | The thigh bone and the longest bone in the body. It extends from the hip to the knee and bears major weight during standing and walking. |
| Intervertebral disc — what is it? | A fibrocartilaginous pad between adjacent vertebral bodies. It absorbs shock and permits limited movement between vertebrae. |
| Deltoid — what is it? | The large triangular muscle covering the shoulder. It abducts the arm and also assists with flexion and extension depending on the fiber group. |
| Pronator teres — what is it? | An anterior forearm muscle that turns the palm downward. It also helps flex the elbow. |
| Iliopsoas — what is it? | A deep hip flexor made up of the iliacus and psoas major. It is the main muscle group for flexing the hip. |
| Achilles tendon — what is it? | The large tendon joining the calf muscles to the calcaneus. It transmits force for plantar flexion. |
| Anatomical position — what is it? | The standard reference posture: standing upright, facing forward, arms at the sides, palms facing forward, and feet pointing forward. |
| Inferior — what is it? | Toward the feet or lower part of the body. The pelvis is inferior to the abdomen. |
| Trachea — what is it? | Midline airway tube extending from the larynx to the main bronchi; supported by C-shaped cartilaginous rings and conducts air to the lungs. |
| Pericardium — what is it? | Fibrous and serous sac surrounding the heart and the roots of the great vessels; anchors the heart and limits acute overexpansion. |
| Aortic valve — what is it? | Semilunar valve between the left ventricle and ascending aorta; prevents backflow into the ventricle during diastole. |
| Pulmonary trunk — what is it? | Large vessel leaving the right ventricle before dividing into right and left pulmonary arteries; carries deoxygenated blood to the lungs. |
| Azygos vein — what is it? | Vein running along the right side of the vertebral column in the thorax; drains posterior thoracic wall and empties into the superior vena cava. |
| Esophagus — what is it? | Muscular tube carrying food from pharynx to stomach; passes posterior to the trachea through the thorax and diaphragm. |
| Duodenum — what is it? | First part of the small intestine, C-shaped around the pancreatic head; receives bile and pancreatic secretions. |
| Transverse colon — what is it? | Intraperitoneal segment of colon extending from the hepatic flexure to the splenic flexure, crossing the abdomen from right to left anterior to much of the small intestine and inferior to the liver and stomach. |
| Common bile duct — what is it? | Main duct carrying bile toward the duodenum after joining the common hepatic and cystic ducts. |
| Kidney — what is it? | Paired retroperitoneal organ that filters blood, regulates fluid and electrolytes, and produces urine. |
| Ovary — what is it? | Paired female gonads typically located on the lateral wall of the true pelvis; they produce oocytes and secrete estrogen and progesterone. |
| Temporal bone — what is it? | Lateral skull bone that houses the structures of hearing and balance and includes the mastoid and styloid processes. |
| Pterygopalatine fossa — what is it? | Small deep facial space behind the maxilla that communicates with the orbit, nasal cavity, palate, and infratemporal region. |
| Middle cranial fossa — what is it? | Central skull base depression containing the temporal lobes and the pituitary region. |
| Palatine tonsil — what is it? | Lymphoid tissue in the lateral wall of the oropharynx between the palatal arches; it helps defend against inhaled and ingested pathogens. |
| Carotid sheath — what is it? | Fascial compartment in the neck that encloses the common carotid artery below the carotid bifurcation, the internal carotid artery above it, the internal jugular vein, and the vagus nerve. |
| Cervical spinal enlargement — what is it? | Widened spinal cord region containing increased neurons for upper-limb innervation; its segments contribute to the brachial plexus. |
| Cerebrum — what is it? | Largest part of the brain, responsible for conscious thought, voluntary movement, language, and higher sensory processing. |
| Midbrain — what is it? | Upper brainstem region involved in visual and auditory reflexes and motor pathway relay. |
| Coronoid process of the ulna — what is it? | The anterior projection on the proximal ulna that forms part of the elbow joint and fits into the coronoid fossa of the humerus during flexion. |
このデッキについて
Anatomy sticks when a structure is tied to where it is, what borders or passes through it, and why that matters. These 300 cards cover anatomical language, the skeleton, joints, major muscles, neuroanatomy, thorax, abdomen, pelvis, head and neck, selected vessels and the major organs — a regional survey built around the structures a first course actually asks you to place. Each independently written answer pairs a concise identification with a spatial or functional anchor. Import it and the whole deck joins your spaced-repetition schedule. Structures you already know stretch out and drop out of sight; the ones that keep slipping come back until they stop slipping. What goes down is the number of structures you still don't know — not the time it takes to flip past 300 cards you mostly do.
よくある質問
- Does importing this deck use my AI allowance?
- No. Importing uses the saved deck as published; it does not run AI generation or use your AI allowance. The complete deck can therefore be imported on the free plan.
- What happens if I import the deck twice?
- Existing cards are skipped. A later import only adds genuinely new cards, so it does not create a second copy of the same material. Including re-imports after deletion, the same Memly curated deck can be imported up to three times per account over its lifetime.
- Can I change or remove cards after importing?
- Yes. Imported cards belong to your account. You can edit either side, delete cards, add notes, or move them to another deck.
- Can I study the same deck on web and mobile?
- Yes. The deck is added to your Memly account and stays available across the web app and the iOS and Android apps.
- Can I study one region at a time?
- Yes. Every card carries a region tag — thorax, head, abdomen, upper limb, lower limb, brain, spinal cord, pelvis, neck, skeleton and joints — so you can filter to whichever region your course is on and leave the rest alone until you get there.
- Does this deck include both gross anatomy and neuroanatomy?
- Yes. It covers core regional and systems anatomy, including major bones, muscles, organs, vessels, peripheral nerves and central nervous system landmarks.
- Do I have to work through all 300 cards at once?
- No. Take one region at a time. Whatever you study joins your spaced-repetition schedule, so the structures you name cleanly come back less and less often, and the ones you keep missing come back sooner.
