Course Meeting Times: BIOD 152 is offered continuously
Course Description: A continued systematic discussion of the anatomical and physiological
systems within the human body. The systems discussed are the nervous system and the special
senses, circulatory system, reproductive system including discussions of mitosis/meiosis and
heredity, and the urinary system with a discussion of fluid and electrolyte balance. Modules
cover the common pathology and treatments associated with each of the systems outline
above. 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:
Define the anatomy and physiology of the central and peripheral nervous systems
as well as the special senses
Describe the anatomy and physiology of the cardiovascular system
Explain the anatomy and physiology of the male and female reproductive systems
Explain the anatomy and physiology of the lymphatic and immune systems
Describe the anatomy and physiology of the urinary system
Describe in detail the physiology of urine formation and acid-base balance

, Lab Outcomes: As a result of this laboratory experience, students should be able to:
Identify major anatomical structures of the central and peripheral nervous systems and
understand their function
Identify the main anatomical structures of the eye and ear and understand the
physiologic processes of hearing and sight
Identify the main anatomical structures of the heart and vessels and understand blood
flow through the heart, systemic, and pulmonary circuits
Explain blood typing
Identify the main anatomical structures of the male and female reproductive systems
and understand the physiology of reproduction
Identify the main anatomical structures of the urinary system and demonstrate
understanding of urinalysis
Each of these BIOD 152 student learning outcomes is measured:
Directly by: (1) Module application problems (with instructor feedback)
(2) Exams
(3)Lab reports and lab exams
(4) Comparison of pre-course / final exam
results Indirectly by an end of course student-completed
evaluation survey
Course Delivery: This course is asynchronously delivered online and is composed of 50 - 60
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 lecture module
and the accompanying exam be completed each day. 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 will not unlock until the following day. 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; this is not a negotiable time period. Please plan your time accordingly.
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
