    8 Parts of Nail Care Structure

    The nail structure is divided into eight parts: the nail fold, nail plate, nail wall, nail bed, nail matrix, free edge, cuticle, and lunula. Each of these eight components plays a specific role in nail formation and structure, and disruptions to any component can cause the nail to appear abnormal.

    8 PARTS OF NAIL

    CARE STRUCTURE
    Caparas, Bernadette Shermaine T,
    8- Descartes
    NAIL
    STRUCTURE
    The nail structure is divided into
    eight parts: lunula, cuticle, free
    edge, matrix, nail bed, nail wall,
    nail plate, and nail fold. Each of YOUR
    these eight components has a
    specific function, and if a LOGO
    component of the nail structure is
    disrupted, the nail can look
    abnormal.
    01 NAIL FOLDS
    The nail fold is the tissue that
    encloses the nail matrix at the root
    of the nail. It attaches the nail to the
    rest of the skin through the
    protective cuticle.
    02 NAIL PLATE
    The nail plate (corpus unguis) is the
    hard part of the nail, made of
    translucent keratin protein. Several
    layers of dead, compacted cells cause
    the nail to be strong but flexible. Its
    (transverse) shape is determined by
    the form of the underlying bone.
    03 NAIL WALL
    The nail wall (vallum unguis) is the cutaneous
    fold overlapping the sides and proximal end of
    the nail. The lateral margin (margo lateralis)
    lies beneath the nail wall on the sides of the
    nail, and the nail groove or fold (sulcus
    matricis unguis) are the cutaneous slits into
    which the lateral margins are embedded.
    04 NAIL BED
    The nail bed is the skin beneath the nail plate.
    Like all skin, it is made of two types of tissues:
    the deeper dermis, the living tissue which
    includes capillaries and glands, and the
    epidermis, the layer just beneath the nail plate,
    which moves toward the finger tip with the
    plate.
    05 NAIL MATRIX
    The nail matrix is the area where your
    fingernails and toenails start to grow. The
    matrix creates new skin cells, which pushes
    out the old, dead skin cells to make your
    nails. As a result, injuries to the nail bed or
    disorders that affect the matrix can affect
    your nail growth.
    06 FREE EDGE
    The nail plate leaves the end of the finger
    and forms a projection that is called the free
    edge. This is attached to the nail bed and
    appears as white. The function of the free
    edge is to protect the fingertip and the
    hyponychium. This is the part we file and
    shape!
    07 CUTICLE
    The overlapping epidermis around
    the base of the nail is called the
    cuticle. The function of the cuticle is
    to protect the matrix from infection.
    08 LUNULA
    This is located at the base of the
    nail, lying over the matrix. It is
    white in color and known as half-
    moon. The nail is slightly soft in
    this area and can be easily
    damaged.
    THANK
    YOU!
