The toenail, also known as the ungual or nail plate, is a hard, keratinized structure that covers and protects the tip of the toe. It grows from the nail bed and serves multiple functions, including providing structural support to the toe, enhancing grip and dexterity, and offering some degree of protection to the underlying tissues. Proper toenail care is essential to prevent issues such as ingrown nails or infections and maintain overall foot health. Understanding the anatomy and function of the toenail is crucial for maintaining proper hygiene, identifying abnormalities, and promoting optimal nail health.
