The skin acts as the outer protective shield for the internal organs present in the body. it act as a barrier and protects the organs from damage from heat, injury, light and the infections. When the skin is damaged, such as in the second and the third-degree burns, this protective barrier is broken, and the internal organs are exposed to damage and infections as the bacteria now have a direct access to the inner organs. The bacteria breeding in the burn wounds are often antibiotic-resistant and fatal. Hence, the antibiotics taken by Tessa might not work on them and further increase her risk of infection.

In the case of G0, that is, the stationary phase, the mammalian cell can pass the restriction point with the supplementation of extracellular proliferation signal. While in the case of G1, which actually does not require any kind of external proliferation signal, as once the cell is in G1 phase, it is ready to go get the next phase. However, both the mammalian cells will cease or halt at G2 checkpoint.
