Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An allograft is a tissue graft that comes from another human donor of the same species, while an autograft comes from the same individual and a xenograft comes from a different species. A homograft is also another term for an allograft, but it is not a commonly used term. Harvesting skin from another human donor for a temporary transplant would require an allograft.
