    Nails are not bones!

    Nails are derivatives of ** and are made by thickening the dermis. The dermis of the nail is the nail bed, the superficial germinal layer at the root of the nail is the nail growth point, and the ** wrinkle wall around the root of the nail and its side edge is called the nail corridor.

    The nail bed is the attachment point where the nail grows, and the nail adheres to the nail bed, growing from the root outward, from the bottom up, and it takes about 4 weeks to grow full. If the nail is damaged, it affects the nail bed and the nail cannot grow.

    Briefly describe the structure and composition of the nail.

    The nail is equivalent to the stratum corneum, but it is not a thin plate of hard keratin, and the keratinocytes are tightly packed together.

    Compared with the stratum corneum, the lipid content of the nail is less, about the, but the sulfur content accounts for more than 3%, which is more than the stratum corneum.

    Although the shape of the nail is different from that of the hair, the amino acid composition of the nail is similar to that of the hair because of the same keratin protein.

    Nails are formed from nail matrix cells. Nail blasts grow on top of the nail bed and along the nail bed in the direction of the fingertips. This is the phenomenon of nail growth.

    The nail bed replenishes the nail moisture and, together with the nail profile, plays an adjustment role that makes the nail neatly elongate in a certain direction. The extension of the nail away from the nail bed is called the free margin of nail. Since it is difficult to replenish water, this part of the water is reduced, brittle and easily damaged.

    The milky white part of the nail that has a half-moon shape at the base is called the nail half-moon (lunua). Here the nail is not fully formed and has not been sufficiently keratinized. The nail half-moon is somewhat soft compared to the rest of the nail and does not fully connect with the underneath.

    The ** around the edge of the nail is called the nail profile, which is the posterior nail profile at the base of the nail and the lateral nail profile on both sides.

    The epithelium that covers the nail is called the nail epithelium and plays a role in protecting the immature nail. Without nail epithelium, nails are susceptible to injury and sometimes cause new nails to be unusually shaped.

    It's not that human nails are the same as hair, and they need roots underneath. The root of the nail is called methyl, and it is buried in the ** of the finger. The vitality of methyl cells is very strong, it can constantly produce new cells, and the old cells continue to die and become keratin, forming nail roots, and the new nail roots continue to push the old nail roots outward, forming nails.

    The nail acts as a support or baffle, protecting the finger from damage. But don't let it grow too long, because too long nails will not only contain dirt and dirt, become a source of disease transmission, but also easily break and even hurt your fingers.

    6. Nail root - located at the root of the nail, in front of the methyl group, extremely thin and soft, its function is similar to the rhizome of crops.

    7. The epidermis of the nail bed - that is, the "soft skin", its function is to protect the soft nails.

    8. Methyl group - located at the root of the nail, containing capillaries, lymphatic vessels and nerves. Its effect is similar to that of soil, the source of nail growth, and when the methyl group is damaged, the nail stops growing or malformed.

    Not bones.

    The nail is a flattened nail-like structure on the back of the finger (toe) of humans and apes, which belongs to connective tissue. It is a deformation of the claw, also known as the flat claw, and its main component is keratin. Homologous to the claw, the claw plantar retracts, and the claw plate forms a rectangular sheet, which is the product of epidermal keratinization at the end of the finger (toe) and plays a role in protecting the end of the finger (toe).

    Species of the suborder Primate apes and primates have nails. Some species of the suborder Protomonkey do not have nails, and some species only have fingernails at the ends of some fingers, such as bee monkeys (slow loris) with claws on the second toe and nails on the rest, while finger monkeys only have nails on the first finger (toe) and the rest of the fingers (toes) are claws. The main component of rhino horn and nails is keratin.

    Condition analysis buried in the void:

    Hello! The nail does not belong to the bone, nor does it belong to the **, it is just an accessory organ and belongs to the connective tissue.

    Guidance: Generally, if there is a problem with the nail itself, it belongs to the ** bending family. If it is a lesion around the nails, it falls under the scope of surgery.
