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.
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).
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.
