The fingernail generally serve two purposes. It serves as a protective plate and enhances sensation of the fingertip. The protection function of the fingernail is commonly known, but the sensation function is equally important. The fingertip has many nerve endings in it allowing us to receive volumes of information about objects we touch. The nail acts as a counterforce to the fingertip providing even more sensory input when an object is touched. The structure we know of as the nail is divided into six specific parts: the root, nail bed, nail plate, eponychium (cuticle), perionychium, and hyponychium.]]> 2020-10-16 17:10:20 UTC https://padlet.com/2465931/jilldwlukpopvn0t/wish/836340050 What Do Nails Look Like? 2465931 https://padlet.com/2465931/jilldwlukpopvn0t/wish/836343451 2020-10-16 17:11:12 UTC https://padlet.com/2465931/jilldwlukpopvn0t/wish/836343451 The Structure of the Epidermis 2465931 https://padlet.com/2465931/jilldwlukpopvn0t/wish/864144866 2020-10-27 02:00:37 UTC https://padlet.com/2465931/jilldwlukpopvn0t/wish/864144866 Receptors 2465931 https://padlet.com/2465931/jilldwlukpopvn0t/wish/864149181 2020-10-27 02:03:13 UTC https://padlet.com/2465931/jilldwlukpopvn0t/wish/864149181 What is the Purpose of Receptors? 2465931 https://padlet.com/2465931/jilldwlukpopvn0t/wish/864152727 Sensory receptors in the skin primarily serve as the creators of the sensation of touch. ]]> 2020-10-27 02:05:33 UTC https://padlet.com/2465931/jilldwlukpopvn0t/wish/864152727
