Nail Structure
The structure we know of as the nail is divided into six specific parts - the root, nail bed, nail plate, eponychium (cuticle), perionychium, and hyponychium. Each of these structures has a specific function, and if disrupted can result in an abnormal appearing fingernail.

Well, the part of the nail that we actually see is called the nail plate, and the skin is the cuticle. Beneath it is the nail bed and the matrix, and beneath those is the skin called the hyponychium. I don't know which three structures you actually need; I'm sure you could Google images 'the anatomy of a nail' and get a good diagram that could explain it better.

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.
