Glossary Nail Plate

hard, keratinous part of the nail protecting the nail bed

The nail plate, also known as the nail body, is the hard, translucent part of the nail that is composed of keratin. It sits on and protects the nail bed, and its growth originates from the nail matrix located under the cuticle. The health and appearance of the nail plate can provide insights into an individual's overall health.
