The fingernail is a hard, translucent plate made of keratin that covers and protects the tip of the finger. It grows from the nail matrix located at the base of the nail and serves multiple purposes, including providing support to the fingertip, enhancing tactile sensitivity, and assisting in tasks that require precision and manipulation. Fingernails require proper care and maintenance to prevent issues such as breakage, infections, or nail disorders. Understanding the anatomy and function of the fingernail is important for maintaining healthy nails, promoting hygiene, and protecting the underlying tissues.
