The matrix of the nail, located under the base of the nail, serves two primary functions. Firstly, it is responsible for the production of new nail cells, leading to nail growth. Secondly, it helps maintain the structural integrity of the nail by providing a foundation for the nail plate, ensuring its proper formation and attachment to the underlying nail bed.

What is the white area at the base of your nail called?

The white area at the base of your nail is called the lunula. It is the visible part of the nail matrix, where new nail growth occurs. The lunula is typically more prominent on the thumbs and can vary in size and visibility among individuals.


How do fingernails form?

Fingernails form from a specialized tissue called the nail matrix, located under the base of the nail, just below the cuticle. Cells in the matrix rapidly divide and produce keratin, a tough protein that makes up the structure of the nail. As new cells are generated, older cells are pushed forward, hardening and forming the visible nail plate. This process continues throughout a person's life, allowing nails to grow and regenerate.


How do you multiply two metrix without array?

A matrix IS an array so it is impossible to multiply a matrix without array. The answer to the multiplication of two matrices need not be an array. If the first matrix is a 1xn (row) matrix and the second is an nx1 (column) matrix, then their multiple is a 1x1 matrix which can be considered a scalar.


How is the order of a matrix found?
