Large-scale practical cardiovascular classes with Danio rerio : overcoming ethical, financial, and logistical challenges associated with mammalian models

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: (zebrafish) can be used to teach cardiovascular physiology. It emphasizes the educational value of using live zebrafish to explore heart rate, drug effects, and homeostasis. The process supports active, inquiry-based learning, fostering engagement, critical thinking, and collaborative skills. It also addresses ethical and logistical considerations. Overall, the approach effectively combines hands-on experimental experience with core physiological concepts in an impactful educational format.
