Next Level Education: NETC Invests in 3D Anatomage Table to Enhance Learning | |
|
Northeastern Technical College has recently added a state-of-the-art Anatomage Table to its collection of high-tech and innovative virtual learning resources for students.
The Anatomage Table is an excellent tool that can help students learn about the human body using 3D models based on real people. The virtual dissection table replaces the need for a cadaver lab, and provides students with a clear, and realistic view of body parts.
The Anatomage goes beyond traditional training models by allowing students to explore and interact with detailed images of the six bodies that are loaded on to the machine. The models are from men and women who passed away, and donated their bodies to science.
Within the table, there are not only the cadavers themselves, but also case studies that show how body parts and systems (circulatory, respiratory, nervous, etc.,) work in tandem, as well as functions of the body in action. This will help students to better understand complex parts of the body and learn more effectively.
Above: Biology and Anatomy instructor, Richard "Dwain" Bailey demonstrates the new Anatomage table to students currently enrolled in NETC's pre-nursing program.
