skin (Grande & Mezebish‚ 2008). Skin grafting used to be very problematic because of the body’s negative immune response‚ but with advances in science and medicine‚ skin grafting techniques and acceptance have come a long way. The immune system functions to protect the body against actual or potential disease or illness. Anything not recognized a part of the body it protects‚ causes the immune system to initiates steps to attack the foreign invader. This is a significant problem in terms of skin

After any injury‚ it is a natural response that the immune system will trigger it inane or adaptive immune to protect or limit the injury to it body. The adaptive immune response is antigen-specific and requires the recognition of specific "non-self" antigens during a process called antigen presentation. B cells and T cells are the major types of lymphocytes in the immune system. However‚ when an adaptive immune response develops against self-antigens autoimmune response occurs with the characteristic

The skin creates an impermeable layer that separates your body’s internals from the disease causing bacteria and viruses outside of you. Of course
