I’m called a Finger Nail Here to hammer away
All the facts and knowledge Of my anatomy
Your Finger Nails are like a flattened form of a claw
Made up of Keratin Please don’t bite me with your jaw
Let’s look at what your fingernails are made of
The answer’s a Protein named Keratin The word you can see above
But, how does this protein called Keratin Grow
Let’s take a look at this finger So you can learn what I know
Here’s a finger without a nail I’ll show you how it grows
This is the top layer of skin called the Epidermis, shown
Cells typically move outward to your epidermis creating skin
But when new cells move to your Nail Root They push Old Cells out from within
These cells called Keratinocytes Shown here
In the area called the Matrix That did just appear
Where this edge called the Nail Root Does begin
Is where cells called keratinocytes produce keratin
Keratin is the dead keratinocyte Cells
That was pushed out by the newly forming cells I do tell
Your fingernails and toenails are packed with keratin
Which are Dead keratinocyte cells are keratin which builds up and forms your nail that you
grew from within
Keratin is tough and makes your nails real hard.
you’ll agree So you can scratch an itch and
Protect your toes and fingers you see
Did you know that claws, nails, hoofs, horns, hair, and feathers
Are also made up of Keratin To make life better
Here’s the anatomy of a fingertip And the parts that do show
Play an important part in nail growth To make them strong and grow
This is the Nail Matrix And the Root of the Nail
The Proximal Nail Fold And to the Cuticle, I hail
Here is the Body And the Free Edge of the Nail
Which sit on the Nail Bed Without these things your nail
Would fail
All of these parts sit on the Distal Phalanges
Those are the bones at the tips of the fingers or toes under me
Please keep your toe and fingernails Dry, Healthy and Clean
This keeps bacteria from growing and a Split Nails on me
Trimming your nails can keep them free of disease
Make sure you use the proper tools with care to keep me pretty
