What substance are human nails made of?
Correct answer: Keratin
((TACO69))
DID U KNW ::: 😏😏😏Nails start in the nail root, hidden under the cuticle. When cells at the root of the nail grow, the new nail cells push out the old nail cells. These old cells flatten and harden, thanks to keratin, a protein made by these cells. ... Cuticles help to protect the new nail as it grows out from the nail root.

Tracy Kilgore, It is a mindless habit thats not easy to quit. Don't judge without having been there yourself.

dentin is what our teeth are mostly comprised of beneath the enamel.
cartilage is a connective tissue found mostly in the joints but also the ears, nose and ends of the ribs.
hydroxyapatite is harder to condense just in one sentence because it has many different forms. one mineral is found in our bones and another form is the mineral that our dentin is mostly comprised of. archeologists also test hydroxyapatite of remains to estimate diet and migration patterns of a particular species

I think that is manicured

marimargo, I think there are supplements that can help with that? I’ve heard people say that their nails got really strong when taking pre-natal vitamins, and also when consuming a lot of gelatin? Just a thought if it’s something that bothers you. :)

hair also made up of this substance

There must be something very wrong with my keratin. My nails are soft and break very easily. I've never been able to get them to grow past my fingertips. Even with the help of Hard as Nails.
marimargo
knew the answer but couldn't get it spelled right.

Tianah, Tracy and all you nail-biters out there … in my youth I used to nibble them down to the quick, and sometimes beyond, till they bled and got wavy ends. When I graduated from high school, my grandma made me promise I'd stop before going off to college. I stopped that day and haven't bitten them since (except maybe to remove the occasional torn hangnail), and that was nearly fifty years ago.
