Nail growth • Nails are protective structures on the end joints of fingers and toes which develop
from the skin/Epidermis.• Each nail is a curved sheet of protein called keratin (the epidermal cells have died
and hardened, due to this protein being added. This process is called keratinisation• The cells grow from the matrix (mitosis)where they die and harden
(keratinisation)the matrix forms the shape and thickness of the nail.• The cuticle protects the nail from infection.• Average weekly growth of nails is 1mm. From the matrix to the free edge it can
take up to 6 months.• Main causes of nail defects/poor growth are : Mechanical damage, illness and
infections, medication, poor diet, age –cellular regeneration declines with age and poor circulation

Anatomy of the Nail•Cuticle – a barrier around the nail plate to protect the matrix and prevent bacteria from entering.•Free edge – the white part of the nail which grows up and is seen over the top of the finger when the palm is facing you• Nail plate – the tough protective coating of cells on top of the nail bed , which we then paint with nail polishes.•Lunula – often called the half moon its the visible part of the matrix found at the base .
