In a textbook, the mysterious marvels of the human body are often contained to the black and white of its pages. At the University of Guelph, knowledge leaps from the page and quite literally into the hands of students inside the Human Anatomy Lab.
Part of the College of Biological Science, the lab is a hub of discovery where undergraduate students pursuing careers in medicine, health care and research can study anatomical structures using human bodies.
"We can teach at the level of detail we do because we have the luxury of this lab," says Dr. Lorraine Jadeski, professor in the Department of Human Health and Nutritional Sciences whose expertise in dissection-based anatomy is at the heart of the lab's operation.
"Donating your body to science education is an invaluable contribution," she adds.
