Asked in Skin Care
Why a skin graft?
a Skin Graft is a type of medical grafting involving the
transplantation of skin. The transplanted tissue is called a skin
graft. Skin Grafting is often used to treat:
-Extensive wounding or trauma
-Burns
-Areas of extensive skin loss due to infection such as
necrotizing fasciitis or purpura fulminans
-Specific surgeries that may require skin grafts for healing to
occur.
Skin Grafts are often employed after serious injuries when some
of the bodys skin is damaged. Surgical removal of the damaged skin
is followed by skin grafting. There are 2 types of skin grafts: the
more common type is where a thin layer is removed from a healthy
part of the body like peeling a potato, OR a full thickness skin
graft, which involves pitching and cutting skin away from donor
section. A full thickness graft is more risky, in terms of the body
accepting the skin, yet it leaves only a scar line on the donor
section, similar to a Ceasarean section scar.

Asked in Human Anatomy and Physiology
What is the function of the stratum germinativum?
This is the deepest layer of the skin structure and, as such,
acts as stem cells since they are the least differentiated or least
specific type of skin cell. As they migrate upward, environmental
factors and neighboring cells increasingly cause them to become
more specific cell types. Ocassionally called the "basement
membrane," found to be essential for proper healing after thermal
injuries to the skin. Was eventually found to be the reason why
earlier attempts at skin grafts using only upper skin cells were
found not to be effective in 3-rd degree full thickness burns.
Modern skin grafts now use a layer of these stratum g. cells on the
artificial skin, followed by other cells added later. The result
has been a marked improvement in the rate of successful skin
grafts.
