Why doesn't cutting your fingernails hurt? 💅😳
The answer is hidden inside the structure of your nail.
The nail plate extending beyond the fingertip is composed mainly of tightly packed, hardened keratinized cells. Beneath and behind it, living tissues—including the nail matrix—continuously produce new nail material that hardens and grows forward.
In this Body Spectra 3D medical animation, we travel beneath the nail to reveal the nail matrix, nail bed, keratinized cells, blood vessels, and the biological process behind nail growth.
Discover fascinating anatomy, cell biology, physiology, and hidden mechanisms of the human body through cinematic 3D scientific visualization.
