Experimental device for forcing small animal to swim

Abstract

an experimental device for forcing a small animal to swim comprises a box body and crossed partition boards, wherein the crossed partition boards are a first partition board and a second partition board; the box body is a transparent box body; an upper opening is formed in the upper surface of the box body; a first slot is formed in the first partition board and is rectangular; the horizontal edge of the first slot is on the upper edge of the first partition board; the length of the vertical edges of the first slot is half the longitudinal length of the first partition board; a second slot is formed in the lower half part of the second partition board; the first and second slots are mounted correspondingly; the crossed partition boards are arranged in the box body; four vertical grooves are formed in the inner walls of the box body respectively, and assembled with the partition boards correspondingly; cover plate grooves are formed in the upper opening of the box body; a first transparent cover plate and a second transparent cover plate, which are parallel to each other, are mounted in the cover plate grooves; a plurality of breather holes are formed in the cover plates; handles are mounted on the cover plates; the box body and the cover plates are transparent, so as to facilitate observation. Experiments can be carried out simultaneously.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of diagnosis and surgical identification in hygiene, and in particular relates to an experimental device for forcing small animals to swim. Background technique [0002] In the basic research of medicine, many modeling methods involve the swimming of experimental animals. For example, in the process of establishing animal models of spleen deficiency syndrome in traditional Chinese medicine, the experimental animals are made to swim to the limit of endurance, resulting in overwork and spleen deficiency. The establishment of chronic stress models in modern medical research also requires experimental animals to swim in cold water. In the past, commercially available plastic sorting boxes or buckets were often used, but the side walls of these plastic containers are opaque, which makes it difficult to observe and record the experimental animals during the experiment. Moreover, the depth of such containers is generally no...
