A toenail typically consists of several layers, primarily made up of keratin, which is a tough protein. The main layers include the nail plate (the visible part), the nail bed beneath it, and the matrix at the base where new nail growth occurs. The nail plate itself can be considered to have three distinct layers: the dorsal (top) layer, the intermediate layer, and the ventral (bottom) layer. Overall, the structure is complex but essentially functions as a protective covering for the toe.
