The nail unit consists of the proximal nail fold, nail matrix, nail bed, and hyponychium. These four structures form what is commonly called the nail. 2. The nail unit develops between the 10th and 17th week in utero by a complex pattern of mesenchymal-ectodermal interactions.
29 Απρ 2017 · The proximal nail fold (or dorsal or PNF) is an expansion of the epidermis of the dorsal aspect of the distal phalanx. Its ventral part constitutes the roof of the proximal nail groove, which covers, on approximately 0.5 cm, the thinned base of the nail that is loosely stuck to the matrix.
3 Οκτ 2024 · The nail grows from a deep groove in the dermis of the skin. All nail growth occurs at the nail’s base, where the specialized cells that make up the nail’s plate are produced; these cells are pushed forward as new cells form behind them.
29 Ιουλ 2024 · How do nails grow? At the proximal nail fold, the nail is tucked into a pouch in the skin. This area is referred to as the matrix. If you look at a nail, you will see a light half-moon-shaped area shimmering through the nail plate at the base of the nail. This is the visible part of the matrix.
Development starts in the ninth week of embryogenesis with the differentiation of a nail field composed of a histologically distinguishable epithelium, with a thickness of from one to several cells, delineated by the circumferential grooves (the proximal, distal, and lateral grooves).
The nail body is composed of densely packed dead keratinocytes. The epidermis in this part of the body has evolved a specialized structure upon which nails can form. The nail body forms at the nail root, which has a matrix of proliferating cells from the stratum basale that enables the nail to grow continuously.
