Hair and nails are primarily made up of a protein called keratin. Keratin is produced by specialized cells called keratinocytes, which are found in the outer layer of the skin called the epidermis. These cells continuously produce keratin as hair and nails grow.
Both hair and nails develop from the specialized keratinized cells called epithelial cells. These cells are found in the skin and are responsible for producing keratin, the protein that gives hair and nails their structure and strength.
Hair and nails are not living although the nail bed and hair follicle form which they are generated is a living cell. Similarly the bony bit of teeth is not living, but the pulp in the core of a tooth is made of living cells.
Nails are made up of keratin, a protein that is produced by specialized cells in the nail matrix. While nails themselves do not have living cells, the nail matrix located underneath the base of the nail is where nail growth occurs.
nails are dead that is why when you die your hair and nails keep growing(hair is dead too)
inanimate objects Nothing. Everything has cells. That pencil on your desk is made of dead cells (wood cells) that's what makes the pencil dead. Your dog is made of real cells. That's what makes it alive. :0)
hard hair or keratin which is made of the same substance as hair
Living and dead cells.
Living and dead cells.
There are no nerves and hair and nails are made up of dead cells. Also it's because of magic.

Dead skin cells. Same as hair.
His number of dead cells increase, and so does his hair. Since hair (and nails) are made from dead cells.
the hair is actually made from outgrowing dead cells. they don't carry blood. i think nails are the same, but I'm not sure.

Nails are dead skin cells.
Hair and nails are made primarily of calcium.
Hair is made out of keratin, a type of protein that is produced by cells in hair follicles in the skin. These cells divide and differentiate to form hair strands, which are composed primarily of keratin proteins.
