Keratin - the same substance that makes up hair.Anatomically fingernails and toenails, which are made of a tough protein called keratin and are produced from living skin cells in the fingers and toes, are made up of many different parts: * The free edge is the part of the nail that extends past the finger, beyond the nail plate. There are no nerve endings in the nail - this is the growing part of the nail still under the skin at the nail's proximal end. * eponychium or cuticle, is the fold of skin at the proximal end of the nail. * paronychium is the fold of skin on the sides of the nail. * hyponychium is the attachment between the skin of the finger or toe and the distal end of the nail. * nail plate is the hard and translucent portion, composed of keratin. * nail bed is the adherent connective tissue that underlies the nail, often colloquially referred to as the "quick." * lunula is the crescent shaped whitish area of the nail bed (when visible) * nail fold a fold of hard skin overlapping the base and sides of a fingernail or toenail.
