labeled diagrams

Captioned technical drawings

Labeled diagrams are illustrations with text identifying their parts—arrows or lines connecting words to specific features of the image.

They're standard in textbooks, instruction manuals, and scientific papers, where visual information needs verbal anchoring: The labeled diagram showed the heart's chambers and valves.

The format bridges seeing and understanding.
