students with hands-on
learning about the
human body

Kip, fessica, Nicole and Mack
just arrived at the University. They
will be here for about two years,
the duration of which they will
spend entirely in the basement of
Klamath Hall.
Kip, Jessica, Nicole and Mack
are the new cadavers for the Exer
cise and Movement Science De
partment’s Human Anatomy lab.
The EMS department usually
gets two new cadavers every two
years from the Organ Donation
Program. Because of a change in
professors, no new cadavers were
ordered in spring 1997. The new

professor, orthopedic surgeon Dr.
Greg Straum, had extra funds to
work with and ties at Oregon
Health and Sciences University,
enabling him to acquire the four
new cadavers.
“Now we are hoping to recycle
all four of them every year so we
can have a lot of dissections and
involve more students in the
process of dissection," said Reed
Ferber, the Graduate Teaching
Fellow who is facilitating the lab
for his fourth year.
Ferber said Human Anatomy, a
yearlong course taught by Straum,
is challenging.
Fall term is dedicated to the
study of the muscular-skeletal sys
tem, winter to systems such as the
digestive, nervous and circulato
ry, and spring and summer ses
sions to dissection.
The top students in the class
have an unlikely reward. Nicole,
Jessica, Kip and Mack are the
names of the top two female and
top two male students from the
previous term, Ferber said.
The challenges for most stu
dents are primarily academic.
However, some students experi
ence a few difficulties with the re
alities of the cadavers.
“You might have one or two stu
dents a quarter who need to step
outside,” Ferber said.
The toenail polish on Jessica’s
feet and hair on the scalp or face of
a cadaver that is not completely
dissected are the more difficult re
alities, Ferber said.
“The human connection isn’t
really made when you first see
them because there is no skin on
them,” he said.
The cadavers are human, how
ever, and this type of learning is in
valuable for students, Ferber said.
“This is a very significant experi
ence for a lot of people just to be
able to actually touch a cadaver and
even feel it, or even dissect them,”
he said. “That is when you learn a
whole lot about the human body.”
Having more than one cadaver
offers learning opportunities for
more students and also allows stu
dents to see differences between
the individuals.
