Why can skin regenerate effectively even after considerable damage?

Hello!

Skin can regenerate effectively even after considerable damage because stem cells persist in both the epithelial and connective tissue components of skin. When injury occurs, cells of the stratum germinativum replace epithelial cells while mesenchymal cells replace cells lost from the dermis.

I really hope this helped you! c:
