-
Animal diversity and invertebrates
Alphabetical glossary of the terms OpenStax defines for animal body plans, symmetry, embryonic development and the invertebrate groups. Each card is one term and its definition; the deck is a lexicon in alphabetical order, not a survey phylum by phylum, and it covers only the terms the two chapter glossaries happen to define.
-
Earth, rocks and weather — harder questions
The harder half of the same exams: questions on the rock cycle, erosion, the water cycle, weather systems and the history written in the ground.
-
Matter, forces and energy — harder questions
The harder half of the same exams: questions on matter, chemical reactions, forces and energy that take a step of reasoning rather than a fact recalled.
-
The neurological exam
What each part of the neurological exam tests and which structure it points to: mental status, the cranial nerves, sensory and motor function, reflexes, coordination and gait.
-
Cartoon Trivia

General Knowledge Trivia — Easy
Everyday facts, records and curiosities, from the community-built Open Trivia Database. The easy tier of the database: facts a regular reader of the subject will recognise, meant to be worked through quickly. One question per card, answered in full.

Maxwell's prediction and the electromagnetic spectrum, then reflection, refraction, mirrors and lenses, the eye and optical instruments, and the interference, diffraction and polarisation of light.
-
Muscular system
Key Terms from the muscular-system chapters of OpenStax Anatomy and Physiology: the structure and physiology of muscle tissue — fibres, fascicles, connective sheaths, contraction, energy metabolism, smooth and cardiac muscle — together with named skeletal muscles, the movement many of them produce, and the anatomical compartments they belong to. The source glossary is alphabetical and this deck carries the part of it that fitted the catalogue's per-deck cap: most entries fall between « abductor » and « flexor », the rest are scattered further down the alphabet. It is a slice of the chapter vocabulary, not a complete survey of the muscular system.
-
Management and organisational structure
Planning, organising, leading and controlling, the levels and skills of management, leadership styles, then departmentalisation, authority, span of control and the informal organisation.
-
Organic and nuclear chemistry

Cells and tissues
Key Terms glossary from the OpenStax chapters on the cell and on tissues. Three quarters of it is histology: the four tissue types, epithelia, connective tissues, cartilage, tissue membranes, glands and wound healing. The rest is a smaller set of cell-level terms on the cell membrane, cell junctions, DNA replication, gene expression, interphase and cell potency. Organelles are not covered.
-
Photosynthesis and cell communication
The light-dependent reactions and the Calvin cycle, then how cells signal to one another: receptors, second messengers, signalling pathways and the responses they trigger.
-
Psychology: schools of thought and research methods
What psychology studies and the traditions it grew from, then how it is done: hypotheses, observation, surveys, correlation, experiments, sampling, reliability and research ethics.
-
Animal respiration and circulation
Glossary terms and their definitions on gas exchange and circulation in animals: airways and lung mechanics, lung volumes and spirometry, oxygen and carbon dioxide transport, blood vessels and blood components, and the chambers, valves and cycle of the mammalian heart. The deck holds 65 term-to-definition cards taken from the end-of-chapter glossaries of OpenStax Biology, first edition; it is a vocabulary deck, not a course, and does not cover the chapter text, figures or numerical exercises.
-
Fluids, temperature, heat and thermodynamics
Density, pressure and buoyancy, Bernoulli's principle and viscosity, then temperature scales and the gas laws, heat capacity and heat transfer, and the laws of thermodynamics with entropy.
-
The human body: organization and anatomical terms
The vocabulary anatomy starts from: levels of organization, the anatomical position and its directional terms, planes and sections, body cavities and their membranes, homeostasis and medical imaging.
-
Cell division: mitosis, meiosis and cancer
The cell cycle and its checkpoints, mitosis phase by phase, binary fission, what goes wrong in cancer, and the two meiotic divisions that make sexual reproduction possible.
-
Comics Trivia
Publishers, artists, secret identities and story arcs, from the community-built Open Trivia Database. One question per card, answered in full.
-
The chemical level of the body
Atoms, bonds and reactions as physiology uses them: water and its properties, acids, bases and pH, and the four families of organic molecules the body is built from.
-
Biotechnology and genomics
The tools of molecular biology — cloning, PCR, gel electrophoresis, sequencing — and what genome mapping, genomics and proteomics do with what they produce.
-
Economic systems and the business environment
Factors of production, the main economic systems, supply and demand, market structures, the macroeconomic indicators and the fiscal and monetary levers that move them.

-
Medicine, biology and nutrition
Open questions on clinical practice, anatomy, human physiology and genetics, cell biology, evolution and nutrition, drawn from the MMLU benchmark (Hendrycks et al., 2021), which gathers multiple-choice items of varied origin. Each card asks one question and answers it in full — no multiple-choice letters.
-
Money, banking and financial management
The functions of money, the central bank and the institutions that hold deposits, then financial management: working capital, sources of short- and long-term funding, and the securities markets.

A few cards reach into neighbouring science topics that the questions raise along the way: blood-type inheritance, vaccines and immunity, and how a study is designed.

One question per card, answered in full: the multiple-choice distractors are dropped. The community wording is reproduced verbatim, minor typographic quirks included, because a source card is never rewritten here; an entry found to teach a wrong fact is removed instead.
