Understanding Nail Anatomy and Care

The video begins with a story about a kitty to introduce the topic of nails. It explains the importance of nails in protecting fingers and toes, aiding in scratching, and providing health clues. Nails are made of keratin, the same protein found in hair and skin. The growth process starts at the matrix, where cells divide and form the nail plate. The lunula, a half-moon shape at the nail's base, is also discussed. Regular trimming is essential for hygiene to prevent dirt accumulation.
