Nail Plate: The hard surface of the nail that you can see. Nail Bed: All of the soft tissue beneath the nail. Lanula: The half moon at the base of the nail. While some are hidden, they are usually visible on the thumb. Did you know that it is thought that the lanula is actually a reflection of light. Matrix: This area is located beneath the cuticle. This is where all the growth of the nail takes place. The area contains nerves and blood vessels to nourish the new nail. Cuticle: The skin that overlaps the nail plate is called the cuticle. Allowing the skin to dry out is the reason for the development of hangnails. Nail Folds: The skin that surrounds and supports the nail on three sides, holding it in place. Nail fungus infections often occur in this area.
