Detailed explanation-1: -The nail bed is the skin beneath the nail plate. It is the area of the nail on which the nail plate rests. Nerves and blood vessels found here supply nourishment to the entire nail unit. Like all skin, it is made of two types of tissues: the dermis and the epidermis.
Detailed explanation-2: -The nail bed is an area rich in blood vessels and nerve endings that the nail plate sits on. The nail plate is the hard structure of keratinised cells that protects the end of the finger and toes.
Detailed explanation-3: -Nail bed: The nail bed is also referred to as the sterile matrix. It extends from the edge of the nail root, or lunula, to the hyponychium. The nail bed contains blood vessels, nerves, and melanocytes that produce melanin.
Detailed explanation-4: -The nail plate is made up of tightly packed, hard, keratinized epidermal cells. It has a nail body, a free edge, and extends deep into the dermis at the proximal end to form the nail root (or nail groove).
