Question

which structure is highlighted on this section of a cadaver finger?

multiple choice

Explanation:

The nail fold is the skin that overlaps onto the proximal end of the nail. In the image, the highlighted area corresponds to this anatomical structure. The free edge is the distal part of the nail that is not attached, and the lunule is the whitish crescent - shaped area at the base of the nail. Based on the position and description of the highlighted region in the finger section, it matches the nail fold.

Nail fold
