Anatomy Quiz Master

When to Use

• Use this skill when the task is to Generate interactive anatomy quizzes for medical education with multiple.
• Use this skill for academic writing tasks that require explicit assumptions, bounded scope, and a reproducible output format.
• Use this skill when you need a documented fallback path for missing inputs, execution errors, or partial evidence.

Key Features

• Scope-focused workflow aligned to: Generate interactive anatomy quizzes for medical education with multiple.
• Packaged executable path(s): scripts/main.py.
• Reference material available in references/ for task-specific guidance.
• Structured execution path designed to keep outputs consistent and reviewable.

Dependencies

• Python: 3.10+. Repository baseline for current packaged skills.
• argparse: unspecified. Declared in requirements.txt.
• json: unspecified. Declared in requirements.txt.
• random: unspecified. Declared in requirements.txt.

Example Usage

See ## Usage above for related details.

cd "20260318/scientific-skills/Academic Writing/anatomy-quiz-master"
python -m py_compile scripts/main.py
python scripts/main.py --help

Example run plan:

1. Confirm the user input, output path, and any required config values.
2. Edit the in-file CONFIG block or documented parameters if the script uses fixed settings.
3. Run python scripts/main.py with the validated inputs.
4. Review the generated output and return the final artifact with any assumptions called out.

Implementation Details

See ## Workflow above for related details.

• Execution model: validate the request, choose the packaged workflow, and produce a bounded deliverable.
• Input controls: confirm the source files, scope limits, output format, and acceptance criteria before running any script.
• Primary implementation surface: scripts/main.py.
• Reference guidance: references/ contains supporting rules, prompts, or checklists.
• Parameters to clarify first: input path, output path, scope filters, thresholds, and any domain-specific constraints.
• Output discipline: keep results reproducible, identify assumptions explicitly, and avoid undocumented side effects.

Quick Check

Use this command to verify that the packaged script entry point can be parsed before deeper execution.

python -m py_compile scripts/main.py

Audit-Ready Commands

Use these concrete commands for validation. They are intentionally self-contained and avoid placeholder paths.

python -m py_compile scripts/main.py
python scripts/main.py --help

Workflow

1. Confirm the user objective, required inputs, and non-negotiable constraints before doing detailed work.
2. Validate that the request matches the documented scope and stop early if the task would require unsupported assumptions.
3. Use the packaged script path or the documented reasoning path with only the inputs that are actually available.
4. Return a structured result that separates assumptions, deliverables, risks, and unresolved items.
5. If execution fails or inputs are incomplete, switch to the fallback path and state exactly what blocked full completion.

Overview

Comprehensive anatomy education tool that generates interactive quizzes covering gross anatomy, neuroanatomy, and clinical anatomy with adaptive difficulty and detailed explanations.

Key Capabilities:

• Regional Quizzes: Head/neck, thorax, abdomen, pelvis, limbs
• Multiple Question Types: Identification, function, clinical correlation
• Adaptive Difficulty: Basic, intermediate, advanced levels
• Image Integration: Label identification with anatomical images
• Progress Tracking: Performance analytics and weak area identification
• Exam Mode: Timed simulations for USMLE-style preparation

Core Capabilities

1. Regional Anatomy Quizzes

Generate focused quizzes by body region:

from scripts.quiz_generator import QuizGenerator

generator = QuizGenerator()

# Generate thorax quiz
quiz = generator.generate_quiz(
    region="thorax",
    topics=["heart", "lungs", "mediastinum", "thoracic_wall"],
    difficulty="intermediate",
    n_questions=20
)

# Export for LMS
quiz.export(format="json", filename="thorax_quiz.json")

Supported Regions:

2. Neuroanatomy Pathway Tracing

Specialized quizzes for neural pathways:

# Neuroanatomy quiz
neuro_quiz = generator.generate_neuro_quiz(
    pathway_type="motor",  # or "sensory", "cranial_nerves", "reflexes"
    include_lesions=True,
    clinical_correlations=True
)

Pathway Types:

• Motor Pathways: Corticospinal, corticobulbar, basal ganglia circuits
• Sensory Pathways: Dorsal column, spinothalamic, trigeminal
• Cranial Nerves: All 12 nerves with nuclei and clinical tests
• Reflex Arcs: Deep tendon, superficial, visceral
• Vascular: Arterial supply, venous drainage, stroke syndromes

3. Clinical Correlation Questions

Integrate anatomy with clinical scenarios:

clinical_quiz = generator.generate_clinical_quiz(
    region="abdomen",
    scenario_types=["surgery", "radiology", "physical_exam"],
    difficulty="advanced"
)

Question Formats:

Clinical Scenario:
"A 45-year-old male presents with epigastric pain radiating to the back. 
CT shows a mass in the lesser sac."

Question: "Which artery runs immediately posterior to the body of the 
pancreas and would be at risk during resection?"

A) Splenic artery
B) Superior mesenteric artery
C) Common hepatic artery
D) Left gastric artery

Correct: B) Superior mesenteric artery

Explanation: The SMA emerges from the aorta at L1 and passes posterior 
to the neck of the pancreas and anterior to the uncinate process...

4. Adaptive Learning System

Adjust difficulty based on performance:

from scripts.adaptive import AdaptiveEngine

engine = AdaptiveEngine()

# Track student performance
student_progress = engine.track_performance(
    student_id="student_001",
    quiz_results=results,
    time_per_question=True
)

# Generate personalized quiz targeting weak areas
personalized = engine.generate_adaptive_quiz(
    student_progress=student_progress,
    focus_areas=["thorax_vessels", "cranial_nerves"],
    mastery_threshold=0.80
)

Quality Checklist

Question Quality:

• Anatomical accuracy verified against standard atlases (Netter, Gray's)
• Clinical correlations reviewed by licensed physicians
• Multiple difficulty levels appropriately calibrated
• Distractors (wrong answers) are plausible and educational
• Explications explain why correct answer is right
• Image quality sufficient for identification (resolution, labeling)

Educational Value:

• Questions test high-yield anatomy (clinically relevant)
• Progressive difficulty builds knowledge systematically
• Clinical scenarios reflect real patient presentations
• Explanations include anatomical reasoning

Technical Quality:

• Randomization prevents pattern recognition
• No duplicate questions in quiz banks
• Image files properly licensed or original
• Accessibility compliance (alt text for images)

Before Use:

• CRITICAL: Faculty review for anatomical accuracy
• Pilot test with target student population
• Time limits appropriate for difficulty
• Answer key double-checked for errors
