What Types of Animals Are Commonly Used?

The choice of animal model depends on the research question and the specific tissue or organ under study. Commonly used animals include:
Rodents (mice and rats): Widely used due to their genetic similarities with humans and ease of handling.
Zebrafish: Popular for developmental studies because of their transparent embryos and rapid development.
Rabbits: Often used in immunology and ocular studies.
Non-human Primates: Used for more complex studies due to their close genetic relationship with humans.
