Pharmacological experimental levels
1- Pre clinical testing (drug discovering) 2- Clinical testing (drug development )
In vitro ( in living part of animal )
In situ ( in position )
In vivo ( in the living animal )
Clinical trials on healthy human and patient
Pharmacoepidomiology :
Is the study of the uses and effects of drugs
in well defined populations

3. Handling of Experimental Animals
Objective :
- To familiarize the student with experimental animal
- To develop the skills of handling different experimental animal
Materials :
- Animals : Rats, Mouse, Guinea-pig, Rabbit.
- Cages.
- Water bottle.
- Restrainer
- Cloth to warp rats.
- Gloves.

4. Experimental
Animals
Albino Mouse Albino Rat
Hamster Guinea-pig Rabbit

5. - Convenience.
- The similarty betttween humans and the rodent in biological and behavioral
characteristics.
- Inexpensive.
- Easily housed and maintained.
- Short lifespan.
Why the scientists prefer to do the experiment on this animals ?
