Which examples are receptors considered in toxicology studies?

  1. Laboratory equipment

  2. Cells and tissues in petri dishes

  3. Computer models

  4. Human and animal subjects

The correct answer is: Human and animal subjects

Receptors in toxicology studies are biological targets or proteins that drugs or chemicals interact with and cause certain effects on the body. In this case, human and animal subjects are considered examples of receptors as they are used to study and understand the effects of toxic substances on living organisms. Laboratory equipment, cells and tissues in petri dishes, and computer models are not considered receptors as they do not have biological functions and cannot accurately mimic the complex interactions of the human body.
