Transplantation

Transplantation refers to the transfer of tissues or whole organs.
 * 1) autotransplantation – transfer from the same individual; the greatest probability of permanent graft attachment
 * 2) alotransplantation (homotransplantation) –  transfer from another individual of the same species
 * 3) xenotransplantation (heterotransplantation) – transfer from an individual of another species (e.g. pig skin)
 * 4) isotransplantation – transfer from a monozygotic, immunobiologically identical twin (equivalent to autotransplantation)

If we use a foreign material for the replacement, then it is alloplasty.
