A first for the Range when it comes to human anatomy. There is an Anatomage Table at Rock Ridge.

It gives students a chance to really see what the human body is like, thanks to advanced technology.

Nolin Cope-Robertson, a junior, explained, “They take real cadavers and digitize them, and those are the case studies we use. I think it’s a great tool for people interested in the medical field.”

His friend and classmate, Colton Bialke, showed us Victor, a patient who used to have cancer. “You can even cut a hole in the body, and see the different layers that way,” he said.

The science teachers hadn’t really known much about the Anatomage, but they are excited for the opportunity for their students.

School leaders said it’s the only one in the region outside of St. Scholastica. And a donation made it possible for the school.

Anatomage as a company was founded in 2004, and the first table came out in 2012.
