Animal Cells Tissues Testing Drug Blood Pressure Intact

Whole animal testing is crucial for drugs affecting blood pressure due to the need to assess the intact circulatory system, which cannot be replicated with cells alone.

Testing blood pressure drugs on whole animals is necessary because they have a complete circulatory system, which cannot be simulated with isolated cells or tissues.

Front Why must testing a drug for blood pressure must be done on a whole animal and not just cells and tissues?
Back
  • Because an animal has an intact circulatory system
  • You can't use human cells and tissues to test drugs that affect whole or multiple body systems
