Chapter 5, Problem 24RQ
Summary Introduction
To review:
The functions of the subcutaneous tissue.
Introduction:
Skin is the largest sensory organ of the integumentary system but has less complexity. It consists of 7% of the total weight of the body and 20 square feet area. It protects the body from toxic elements and foreign particles. It helps in the regulation of body temperature and also allows the sensations such as heat, cold, and touch.

His surgeon recommends skin grafting procedure as his medical-surgical intervention. The surgeon explained that they are going to perform full-thickness graft that involves removing or harvesting all the epidermis and dermis from the donor site that is usually taken from the abdomen, groin, forearm, or area above the clavicle. The small pieces of skin that is removed from the donor sites will be used to cover the burned area. Though Leno know that it is a safe surgical procedure, his insight on harvesting skin from other part of his body will create a new injury and might be his skin will no longer be the same again in terms of color and texture.
