What is the main function of the cuticle?
甲上皮的主要功能是什么?
AProtects the matrix保护甲母质Correct
BProvides shine提供光泽
CAdds strength增加强度
DControls growth控制生长Common trap
Mentor’s explanation名师解析
WHY A
The cuticle seals the gap between the nail plate and the skin, keeping out bacteria and debris — which protects the matrix from infection and damage.
甲上皮封住甲板与皮肤之间的缝隙,保护甲母质不受感染和损伤。
WHY NOT THE OTHERS
BShine depends on the surface of the nail plate, not the cuticle.
CStrength comes from the keratin structure of the nail plate.
DGrowth is controlled by the matrix itself — the most common mix-up on the exam.
Key termsCuticle · 甲上皮Matrix · 甲母质Nail plate · 甲板
Memory tipThe cuticle guards; the matrix grows. See “growth”? Think matrix.
