Describe how hair and nails are formed

Biology
2 answers:
Svetllana [295]2 years ago

Each cell becomes a thin plate; these plates pile into layers to form the nail. As with hair, nails form by keratinization. When the nail cells accumulate, the nail pushes forward. The skin below the nail is the matrix.

Hair is made of a tough protein called keratin. A hair follicle anchors each hair into the skin. In the hair bulb, living cells divide and grow to build the hair shaft. Blood vessels nourish the cells in the hair bulb, and deliver hormones that modify hair growth and structure at different times of life

Nails start in the nail root, hidden under the cuticle. When cells at the root of the nail grow, the new nail cells push out the old nail cells. These old cells flatten and harden, thanks to keratin, a protein made by these cells. The newly formed nail then slides along the nail bed, the flat surface under your nails.

Nails and hair are essentially made up of a tough protective protein called keratin. While the hair grows in a hair follicle, nails grow from the matrix (the base of the nail bed). ... They die and harden, thus turning into hair or nails. This process, called keratinisation, makes your hair and nails grow.
