Detailed explanation-1: -The nail bed, is a specialised form of skin epithelium, and has the same four layers of the epidermis of skin, with the nail plate being analogous to the stratum corneum layer. The nail plate is made up of tightly packed, hard, keratinized epidermal cells.
Detailed explanation-2: -The skin bordering the lower end of the nail is called the proximal nail fold. A thin layer of skin, known as the cuticle, grows over the nail there.
Detailed explanation-3: -Nail Structure. The nail structure is divided into six parts: root, nail bed, nail plate, eponychium, paronychium, and hyponychium. Each of these six components has a specific function, and if a component of the nail structure is disrupted, the nail can look abnormal.
