Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Grafting refers to a surgical procedure to move tissue from one site to another on the body, or from another creature, without bringing its own blood supply with it. Instead, a new blood supply grows in after it is placed. A similar technique where tissue is transferred with the blood supply intact is called a flap.

Detailed explanation-2: -An allograft is tissue that is transplanted from one person to another. The prefix allo comes from a Greek word meaning “other.” (If tissue is moved from one place to another in your own body, it is called an autograft.) More than 1 million allografts are transplanted each year.

Detailed explanation-3: -A transplant between species is called a xenotransplant and the process is called xenotransplantation.
