Several animal models are frequently used in histological studies, each with its own advantages. Common choices include:
Mice: Widely used due to their genetic similarity to humans, ease of breeding, and availability of transgenic lines. Rats: Larger size facilitates certain surgical procedures and sampling. Zebrafish: Transparent embryos allow for real-time observation of developmental processes. Rabbits: Often used for immunological studies and antibody production. Dogs and Pigs: Larger animals are used for cardiovascular and organ transplantation research due to their anatomical similarities to humans.
