Parts of Nails

Extracted from Wikipedia.com:


Fingernails and toenails are made of a tough protein called keratin, as are animals' hooves and horns. Along with hair and teeth they are an appendage of the skin. The parts of the nail are:

Matrix
The only living part of the nail. It is situated behind and underneath the nail fold and produces the keratin which makes up the nail plate. If the matrix is damaged, growth of the nail plate is affected.


Eponychium
Dead skin that forms around the cuticle area. It can be lifted and trimmed during a professional manicure treatment. Tends to be more prominent on males.


Paronychium
The 'live' skin that folds around the cuticle area, giving protection to the matrix

Hyponychium
The area of attachment between the nail plate and nail bed that lies underneath the free edge. Anatomical terms of location: proximal and distal, end of the nail.

Nail plate
The hard and translucent part of the nail composed of layers of keratin


Nail bed
Tissue underneath the nail plate, responsible for the pink colour of the nail. It also determines what shape the nail will grow.

Lunula
The visible part of the matrix, a whitish crescent shape around the base of the nail plate. Tends to only be visible in larger nails.

Nail fold
A fold of hard skin overlapping the base and sides of a fingernail or toenail

Nail groove
Grooves that guide the direction of nail growth. They are located down the sides of the nail fold.
