What are the hair and nails made of?
Hair and nails are primarily made of a protein called keratin, which provides strength and resilience. Keratin is a fibrous protein that forms the structure of these tissues, allowing them to withstand wear and tear. The growth of hair and nails occurs in specialized cells located in hair follicles and nail beds, respectively, where keratinocytes produce and accumulate keratin. Additionally, hair and nails contain small amounts of lipids and water, contributing to their overall structure and health.
How are hair and nails similar in structure?
Both are made from a structural protein called Keratin.
What is the human hair made from?
Keratin. It is also a key component of nails and the outer layer of human skin.
