The nail grows from a point near the roots below the skin. This semi-circle named the 'lunula' comprises a group of cells that manufacture keratin, a dead, hoof-like protein. Though nails grow an average of two inches per year, their growth slows with age, and the average adult's fingernails grow only one inch in eight months. The base of the nails is embedded into the skin. Unlike other skin, it contains elastic fibres that connect it to the nail, and hold it firmly in place. The cuticle, a rim of skin over the lunula, protects it from bacterial infection, serves as a shock absorber, and shields the nail from any sudden impacts. Normally, the lunula is white in colour, indicating proper nutrition and good overall health. Blue lunula raise red flags that circulatory problems to the fingers may exist. Nails that are hard, brittle, and tend to split easily, may also be clues to poor circulation, infection, or disturbances of the glandular and nutritional systems. Those curling sharply around the finger point to coronary, liver, or lung diseases.
