I need a formed tissue

A tissue that makes up the nails is Keratin. The keratin in the nail is a hard surface. The nails are basically connected to roots that help keep them steady at the end of your finger tips. The matrix of the nail produces the hard Keratin. The nails are formed into a U-shaped form. Where the Cuticles begin. Which the nails start to grow in the nail root where it is hidden under the cuticle.

Nasty Nail Patella Syndrome part dos!

Since this syndrome is genetic, that’s the only way of getting it. You cant just touch something and you automatically get this. If you don’t inherit it from a parent, you wont get it. Its just the luck of the draw.


The only way to really detect Nail Patella Syndrome is if you have the symptoms of it; absent, rigid, or pitted nails.

Because of this syndrome being genetic, and being in the nail, there really is no treatment for it.

Nasty Nail Patella Syndrome

Nail Patella Syndrome is abnormalities in not only the nails, but in the knees elbows, and pelvis. The nails are either absent, rigid, split, or pitted.


This condition is inherited by one or both or your parents with the autosomal dominant trait. So if your parents have it, you have a good chance of getting it as well.

The Beginning of Nails

The integumentary system is also known as the skin and your nails are found above the epidermis. The epidermis is what you call the top layer of the skin. Nails are found at the end of your finger tips and the end of your toes. Nails are essential to our way of living.

Once upon an injury

Listed below are some nail conditions caused by injury, infection, or lack of nutrition, ect:

Onycholysis: This separation disturbance is also called “plummer nails”. The way that this disturbance happens is by blood separating the nail from its bed when hit or injured. This particular process might result in nail discoloration.


Clubbing: this is a nail deformity that is caused by thickening of the proximal tissue under nail which causes the nail to shape itself as if it was rounded towards the tip of the nail, making an appreance of a rounded nail.

Koilonychias: This is a disorder in which the nail appears to be shaped with a depression rather than a radius. This actual nail state can correct itself with time but doesn’t always result in a normal nail shape. This is cause because of the nail patella which contorts the nails form during the nails process of growing.
