You are a plastic surgeon working on a burn unit and an emergency patient comes in with a full
thickness burn (3 skin layers deep) on their left forearm. The patient is afraid of receiving skin grafts
(a process of taking excess skin from other locations of the body and grafting it onto the burned
area). Provide an explanation to this patient why they need to have the skin graft done. Be sure to
address at least 3 major structures of the skin and the importance each has in helping this patient
maintain homeostasis.
