  2. originates in the upper portion of the fibular from just below theknee to the heel•Bends the foot down
  3. The front portion of the nail matrix that creates a half-moon shape at the base of the nail plate. It appears lighter in color when visible, but for some, the lunula is under the PNF and can’t be seen. The nail plate cells in this area are softer, thinner and much easier to penetrate through to the underlying nail bed. Proper care during a manicure is important to preserve the nail plate.

  7. the new growth of the nail plate; houses specialized stem cells
  8. largest tendon in the body; at the back of the leg•Joins muscles in the back of the leg and attaches to the bone of the heel•This is a tendon, not a muscle
