BIOD 151 Essential Human Anatomy & Physiology I w/ Lab pre-requisites Latest Updated 2023
Course Description: A systematic integration of the
... [Show More] 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

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 [Show Less]
