Colorado Cosmetology Written Practice Exam

Question: 1 / 425

What is the Eponychium?

Part of the nail plate

Slits on the sides of the nail

Living skin at the base of the nail plate

The eponychium is a small strip of skin that covers and protects the root of the nail. The slits on the sides of the nail (option B) refer to the nail grooves, which are separate from the eponychium. The area beneath the nail (option D) is the nail bed, which is underneath the nail plate and not the eponychium. Option A, the nail plate itself, is also incorrect as the eponychium is not a part of the nail plate, but rather a part of the living skin surrounding the nail.
