The nail bed is richly vascularized to provide for the nail matrix to grow. It is also rich in nerve cells to allow for the sense of touch. When the nail is removed from the nail bed it opens the nerve endings to a variety of stimuli that irritate the nerves causing pain. Good luck on your testI am taking an anatomy test and need to know why does it hurt when you tear your nail exposing the nail bed?
Any time you *tear* cells apart, especially nerve cells, you will get lots of feedback from them saying 'DON'T DO THAT!!!!!!!'I am taking an anatomy test and need to know why does it hurt when you tear your nail exposing the nail bed?
Many nerve endings in your fingertips.
There are many nerves there and pain is a sign that something is wrong or abnormal.
