Taking advantage of office hours is an important aspect of getting the most out of your lab experience. The Human Physiology Laboratories offer over 20 Lab TA and Intern office hours per week in addition to the office hours held by the Laboratory Supervisor, Head TA, and Dr. Woodman.

In our laboratories, we utilize sheep eyes and hearts, and we perform a variety of experiments in order to illustrate many of the important functions that occur in the human body.

One of the hallmarks of Dr. Woodman's Human Physiology Laboratories is the rigorous Physiology Internship that trains outstanding Physiology students to be Physiology TAs and provides advanced learning opportunities in human physiology through the maintenance and preparation of laboratory experiments.

Our Program
Human Physiology lab is one of the most challenging labs pre-health and human sciences students take as undergraduates; however, these classes also set the foundation for many students future educational endeavors. At the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Dr. Woodman and his staff take great pride in providing their students with a quality educational experience.
Each semester he and his staff manage:
- 330 Physiology lab students
- 13-15 Physiology labs
- A Physiology Internship Program
All together more than 660 students a year take part in a physiological educational experience developed and facilitated by Dr. Woodman.
Physiology Hybrid Course
Dr. Woodman has developed a hybrid physiology course that combines the flexibility of online instruction, with the unique experience of working hands on, carrying out physiological experiments in the laboratory. Students complete the "lecture" portion of the class via video podcasts and directed self-study like a traditional online class, but then attend laboratory once a week on the UNL campus to further their understanding of the human body in our physiology labs.
