Nail
Nails are made of Keratin which is hard protein. It is an elastic structure at the end of a finger or a toe. Each nail is divided into three parts. The root of the nail fastens the nail to the finger or toe by fitting into the dermis of the skin. There are vascular ridges underneath the nail body and on the nail plate which lies under the nail body. The part of the nail bed that the behind the nail root is responsible for the production of new nail cells. Nails are similar to claws and hoofs as well.
Eustachian tube
The Eustachian tube is a tube that connects the nasopharynx with the middle ear cavity. The tube is normally closed but opens when a person is yawning, chewing or swallowing to create a balance of air pressure in the middle ear in comparison to the air pressure outside. It is approximately 3.5 centimeters long. The Eustachian tube drains the mucous from the middle ear to the pharynx but may not drain properly if it is infected which could cause a swelling of the tube.
