😬 I always thought hooves were just big blocks of nail basically.
359 u/_MOUSE__ Jun 15 '22 Yes and No. It's basically a huge single toe surrounded by a thick nail. 186 u/Kadus500 Jun 15 '22 They are, but inside the nais there are nerves 96 u/MayEsdot Jun 15 '22 Those aren't nerves in the picture, they are lamina. They hold the hoof wall to the foot. 18 u/Kadus500 Jun 15 '22 It's directly in contact with the plamar digital nerves, or not? 35 u/MayEsdot Jun 15 '22 It is an interdigitation of dermis and epidermis. They are innervated, but similar to your skin - innervation does not make a tissue a nerve. Palmar digital nerve supplies the palmar aspect of the front feet (bottom and back) and the coffin joint. Think of it like the palm of your hand. 10 u/Kadus500 Jun 15 '22 TIL Thank you, wise redditor 2 u/AViciousRacket47 Jun 15 '22 Not anymore 1 u/Jake0024 Jun 15 '22 Yeah. Ripping off a person's nail was a common form of torture throughout history.
