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

Commission on Higher
Education. Portage Learning is included in the College’s Department of Professional and Online Graduate
Studies; courses are delivered through the PortageLearning.com platform.
systems of the human
body.
The systems discussed are the respiratory system, digestive system,
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
during these days. Also, it is the policy of Portage Learning to support a minimum of 21 days to
complete a course; this is not a negotiable time period. Please plan your time accordingly.
Note: Professors reserve the right to reset any exam taken in violation of these guidelines.
Required readings, lectures and assignments: Portage courses do not use paper textbooks.
Students are required to read the online lesson modules written by the course author which
contain the standard information covered in a typical course. Please note the exam questions
are based upon the readings. Video lectures which support each lesson module subject should
be viewed as many times as is necessary to fully understand the material.
We do not support the use of outside resources to study, except for the ones listed in the
syllabus under “Suggested External References”. If you have questions about the material or
would like further explanation of the concepts, please contact your instructor.
Module Problem Sets: The practice problems within the modules are a part of your final grade,
and the module work will be reviewed for completeness (not correctness) by the instructor. Be
sure to answer all of the problems, being careful to answer the questions in your own
words at all times since this is an important part of adequate preparation for the exams.
After you answer the practice problems, compare your answers to the solutions provided at the
end of the module. If your answers do not match those at the end, attempt to figure out why
there is a difference. If you have any questions, please contact the instructor via the Canvas
messaging system (see Inbox icon).
NOTE: Module problem sets are not an option or a choice; they are required. This means that
you must complete all the review questions within the modules. Not only are problem sets class
participation, they are the best way to prepare for the exams.
Academic Integrity is a serious matter. In the educational context, any dishonesty violates
freedom and trust, which are essential for effective learning. Dishonesty limits a student's ability
to reach his or her potential. Portage places a high value on honest independent work. In a
distance learning situation, we depend on the student's desire to succeed in the program he or
she is entering. It is in a student's own best interests not to cheat on an exam, as this would
compromise the student's preparation for future work.
It is required of each student to take exams without consulting course materials or study aids
including another person, the lesson pages, printed materials, or the Internet. It will be
necessary to show all your work on exams.
• Students may not reference or use outside materials from any source, including their
own notes or drafts in a word processing document, unless explicitly instructed to do so [Show Less]
