Patient discussion about fingernail.
Q. Anyone know why it hurts so much when you smash one of your finger nails?
A. two levels to that answer. first one is that it has an immense amount of sensory nerves there. so you will be able to do delicate jobs with your fingers. the fingers are almost the most sensitive part of our body. the second level is - if you look evolutionary speaking- the fingernails were an important part of our body like our teeth are. they were a very important tool we should take care of them. and if it hurts like hell when you smashes them- you'll be careful. but that's just a theory:)
Q. what causes ridges in fingernails center of nail is splitting down the middle toward the nail bed.
