A rat is treated with Chemical X via IP injection for 7 days. After 7 days, the liver is removed and analyzed for adverse effects. This is an example of an: in vivo experiment in vitro experiment ex vivo experiment in silico experiment epidemiologic study

A drug researcher could avoid risking human health in tests of new drugs by applying the new drugs to cultures of human cells and observing the effects. using computers to select and notify potential subjects for tests on the new drugs. conducting a trial on patients, using only very small dosages and short lengths of exposure to the new drugs. only testing the new drugs on volunteer subjects who have tried all available treatments with no success. The subject is Science.
