Students take studies to heart
By Mick Dyer
Senior Reporter
The whole is greater than the sum
of its parts. That concept is essential
to the study of quantum physics.
Somehow, when you add up all the
charges of the sub-atomic particles
that compose the atom, the overall
atomic charge is larger than the calcu
lated value.
It’s a mystery that has both baffled
and inspired physicists for years.
This principle also applies to anat
omy. When you add up all the cells
and hair and stuff, you get something
more—something even more myste
rious and exciting.
Life.
Anatomists study the interaction
of the parts that make the whole.
Through an understanding of the deli
cate balance of the parts, the whole
can be maintained when the balance
is disturbed. That’s a polite way of
saying people in the health field need
to know how the body works in order
to fix it when it breaks down.
The dentistry college building on
East Campus has a macroscopic ana
tomical research laboratory. It is one
of four major labs of its kind in the
state.
In that lab, University of Ne
braska Lincoln dental students re
ceive identical anatomical training to
that medical students receive at the
University of Nebraska Medical
Center.
As you walk into the lab, you no
tice various diagrams and models to
help the students understand the parts
they are studying in their textbooks.
You may also notice the not-so-subtle
aroma of a formalin solution and the
20 or so rectangular metal boxes —
about 2 1/2 feet by 2 1/2 feet by 7 feet
— resting about 4 feet off the floor on
metal legs.
These boxes contain cadavers,
human bodies donated to science by
their deceased owners, which stu
