A B S T R A C T Research is an activity carried out based on scientific principles and methods systematically to obtain information, data, and information from related subjects, with understanding the theory and proving assumptions and / or hypotheses. The results obtained are conclusions that can be applied or become additional knowledge for the progress of science. However, research activities must still respect the rights and dignity of research subjects. Health research includes biomedical, epidemiological, social, and behavioral research. Some health research can be done in vitro, using mathematical models, or computer simulations. If the research results are to be used for humans, further research is needed using living materials (in vivo) such as cell lines and tissue cultures. However, to observe, study, and conclude all occurrences in living things as a whole, experimental animals are needed because experimental animals have a value for each part of the body and there are interactions between these body parts.
