II. Background Information for Learners

It is very important for a manicurist to learn and understand the
anatomy and function of the nails so you could give your clients a
professional and responsible service and care. Nails are a part of the
skin and are made up of the same protein, keratin (KER-a-tin), as skin
and hair. It is composed of then hardest keratin. The technical term for
nail in onyx (ON-iks). The purpose of nails is to protect the ends of
fingers and toes and to help the fingers grasp small objects. Adult
fingernails grow at an average rate of 1/8 inch a month; toenails grow
more easily. The characteristics of healthy nails are smooth, shiny, and
translucent pink. Its surface is smooth, curved, and unspotted, without
any hollows or wavy ridges.
Normally, nails replace themselves every four months and grow more
quickly in summer than in winter. The nail grows fastest on the middle
finger and slowest on the thumb.
III. Direction: Read and understand the key concepts presented in
Information Sheet 1.1 and answer the activities on your answer sheet.

Information Sheet 1.1

The entire nail structure consists of the parts of the actual nail and
structures of skin beneath and surrounding the nail. Below is the diagram
of the nail and its structure.
The actual nail consists of the nail body, nail root, and free edge.

➢ Nail body or Plate - is the main part or plate of nail that is attached to the
skin at the tip of the finger.
➢ Nail root - is where the nail growth begins. It is embedded underneath
the skin at the base of the nail.
➢ Free edge - is the end of the nail that extends beyond the fingertip.

Structure Beneath the Nail

The structures beneath the nail include the nail bed. matrix, and lunula.
➢ Nail Bed is the portion of skin beneath the nail body that the nail plates
rest upon. Its is supplied with blood vessels that provide the nourishment
necessary for nail growth. The nail bed also contains nerves.
➢ Matrix (May-triks) contains nerves together with lymph and blood vessels
that produce the nail cells and control the rate of growth of the nails. It is
located under the nail root. The matrix is the very sensitive part of the nail
and if injured will produce nails with irregular growth and disorders.
Note: Be careful not to apply excessive pressure to this area during a
manicure.
➢ Lunula is the light-colored half-moon shape at the base of the nail. This
is where the matrix connects with the nail bed.
Skin Surrounding the nail
The skin surrounding the nail includes the cuticle, nail fold, nail grooves, nail
wall, eponychium, perionychium, and hyponychium.
➢ Cuticle( KYOO-ti-kel) is the overlapping skin around the nail. A normal
cuticle should be loose and pliable.
➢ Nail Fold Or Mantle (MAN-tel) is the deep fold or skin at the base of the
nail where the nail root is embedded.
➢ Nail Grooves are slits or tracks in the nail bed at the sides of the nail on
which the nail grows.
➢ Nail Wall is the skin on the sides of the nail above the grooves.
➢ Eponychium (ep-o-NIK-ee-um) is the thin line of skin at the base of the
nail that extends from the nail wall to the nail plate.
➢ Perionychium (PER-i-o-nikee-um) is the part of the skin that surrounds
the entire nail area.
➢ Hyponychium (heye-poh-NIK-ee-um) is the part of the skin under the
free edge of the nail.
