What is a nail bed?
The nail bed is part of the nail matrix called the sterile matrix. It extends from the edge of the germinal matrix, or lunula, to the hyponychium. The nail bed contains the blood vessels, nerves, and melanocytes, or melanin-producing cells. As the nail is produced by the root, it streams down along the nail bed, which adds material to the undersurface of the nail making it thicker. It is important for normal nail growth that the nail bed be smooth. If it is not, the nail may split or develop grooves that can be cosmetically unappealing.
What is the main regions of a nail?
The main regions of a nail are the nail plate (visible part), nail bed (skin underneath the nail), nail matrix (area where nail cells are produced), cuticle (protective barrier at the base), and lunula (the white, crescent-shaped area at the base).
What is the proximal portion of the nail?
The proximal portion of the nail is known as the nail matrix, located just beneath the cuticle at the base of the nail. It is responsible for producing new nail cells, which harden and form the visible part of the nail as they grow out. The health and functionality of the nail matrix are crucial for proper nail growth and appearance. Any damage to this area can affect the shape and texture of the nail.

Is nail patella syndrome recessive?
No, it is not recessive. Nail-patella syndrome is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner. This means that possession of only one copy of the defective gene is enough to cause disease. When a parent has nail-patella syndrome each of their children has a 50% chance to inherit the disease-causing mutation. A new mutation causing nail-patella syndrome can also occur, causing disease in a person with no family history. This is called a sporadic occurrence and accounts for approximately 20% of cases of nail-patella syndrome. The children of a person with sporadic nail-patella syndrome are also at a 50% risk of developing signs of the disorder.

What is the disease called which involves a rusty nail?
Tetanus can result from stepping on a rusty nail. It is a bacterial infection--not a disease-- that attacks the nervous system. It causes painful muscle contractions and can kill if untreated.It is said that stepping on a rusty nail will cause tetanus or lockjaw. But it isn't the rust that causes the disease, it is the bacteria that is found on the nail (or splinter or even an insect bite).Anything that has a tiny bit of dirt on it can carry the obligate anaerobic bacterium Clostridium tetani. This microbe doesn't like oxygen and a deep poke with a nail will produce an environment that it will thrive in. It produces a neurotoxin that causes muscles to contact all together with enough to break bones.
