BIOD 151 Essential Human Anatomy & Physiology
I w/ Lab pre-requisites Latest Updated 2023
Course Description: A systematic integration of the structure and function of the cells, tissues,
organs and
system, axial and appendicular musculature, endocrine system, and the integumentary system.
This course also includes an overview of basic anatomical terminology, cell composition, and a
discussion of the cellular membrane. Modules include discussions of anatomy and physiology of
the individual systems as well as common pathology and treatments associated with each. The
laboratory component of this course is delivered using virtual labs and interactive simulations
with detailed instruction and demonstrations from an experienced instructor.
Course Outcomes: As a result of this course experience a student should be able to:
• ● Identify and explain the function of all cell organelles
• ● Explain all types of cellular transport including diffusion, facilitated diffusion, active
transport,
exocytosis, endocytosis, phagocytosis, and pinocytosis
• ● Describe basic microscopy
• ● Define and correctly use basic anatomical terminology

systems of the human The systems discussed are the respiratory system, digestive system,
body. skeletal
,• ● Identify the anatomy and physiology of the respiratory system
• ● Explain the anatomy and physiology of the digestive system
• ● Describe the anatomy and physiology of the skeletal and muscular systems
• ● Explain the anatomy and physiology of the endocrine system
• ● Identify the anatomy and physiology of the integumentary system
*Please see the Module & Lab Topics section below for expanded course outcomes.
Lab Outcomes: As a result of this laboratory experience, students should be able to:
• ● Practice safe procedures within a laboratory
• ● Identify basic components of a light microscope
• ● Define and demonstrate anatomical position
• ● Differentiate between types of epithelial tissue and describe their function
• ● Differentiate between types of connective tissue and describe their function
• ● Identify anatomical structures of the respiratory system
• ● Explain pulmonary function testing and basic spirometry
• ● Describe anatomical structures of the digestive system and their function
• ● Identify all major bones within the axial and appendicular skeleton and understand the
function of bone
• ● Identify all major muscles/muscle groups within the axial and appendicular divisions
and understand
their function as well as nervous innervation
Each of these BIOD 151 student learning outcomes is measured:
Directly by: (1) Module application problems (with instructor feedback)
(2) Module exams
(3) Lab exams
(4) Cumulative final exam
, Indirectly by an end of course student-completed evaluation survey
Course Delivery: This course is asynchronously delivered online and is composed of 45
- 55 hours of reviewed module assignments with instructor feedback, 7 contact hours of
secure online module exams, 15 – 20 hours of observation of demonstration labs and 8
hours of lab exams.
Course Progression: It is the policy for all Portage Learning courses that only one
(module lecture/final) exam is to be completed within a 48-hour period. Research on the
best practices in learning indicates that time is needed to process material for optimal
learning. This means that once an exam has been completed, the next exam may not be
opened or taken until 48 hours after the submission of the previous module exam. This
allows for instructor feedback/class expectations as the student moves through the
material. Instructors, like the College, are not available during the weekend; grading,
therefore, is M-F and may take up to 72 hours
