  The dissection lab does have various smells to it due to the ways the bodies have been preserved so that they are kept intact for dissection.
  
  You can wear a mask too but you get used to it after a few sessions. This ‘adaptation’ is both psychological and happens in the the nerves that detect smell too. They send messages by firing a single to the brain. Over time, as the smell is always there, the nerves stop firing and eventually only fire if there is a change. This adaptation is efficient and happens in lots of ways to most of the senses.
