Nail Anatomy

A deck, as well as from around the nail bed and the following
organizations. Deck for the transparent horny plates, long in each
refers to the back of the distal nail, showing convex rectangular deck
shape and size in different individuals and the same individual in all
means that there are differences between toenail.

The deck from the proximal to the distal gradually thickened to a
free edge when the thickness is about 0.3mm ~ 0.7mm. From the vertical
perspective, the deck can be divided into a root, a body and the free
edge of the deck remote. A proximal part of the A arc below the shadow
of a white half-moon region is a parent material germinal cells in the
distal sign. A shadow arc clearly visible on the thumb, little finger
on the sight, uncertain whether the rest of the fingers. White in this
area may be due to two factors: 1. Where the deck of the
keratinization not yet complete. 2. A parent material epithelial thick
to cover up the blood flow in the bottom of the organization given
color. A bed is close to the soft tissue under the deck, located a
half months, and between the subungual skin.

A life-long non-stop growth, growth rate varies, but relatively
constant in the same individuals, found that only a very small number
of clinical patients with a larger difference between the growth rate
of right-hand man. The average daily growth of nail is about 0.1mm,
the daily growth of only nail nail 1 / 2, 1 / 3. Refers to a long nail
from the nail root to the distal free edge of the deck, it normally
takes 3 ~ 6 months, and some nail you need more than 6 months time. A
growth rate of age-related increase after puberty is slowed down more
slowly in old age.
