In the English language the word the is classified as an article, which is a word used to define a noun. (More on that a little later.) But an article isn’t one of the eight parts of speech. Articles are considered a type of adjective, so “the” is technically an adjective as well.

: very hurt She was cut to the quick by their insults.

In the King James Bible Specifically it warns that those who sin, both the quick and the dead, will be judged by Jesus Christ. In other words, it implies that God is able to act on the sins of a person whether that person is alive (quick) or has passed into the afterlife (dead).

Anemia is a condition where your body lacks enough hemoglobin, a protein that carries oxygen from your lungs to the rest of your body. While fatigue is the leading sign of anemia, this condition can also show itself through brittle or spoon-shaped nails — called koilonychia.

Healthy lunulae are usually a whitish color and take up a small portion of the bottom of your nail. They’re usually most visible on your thumb. You may notice that they appear smaller on your pointer finger, gradually shrinking in size until you reach your pinkie where they may be barely visible.

Why is it sometimes difficult to see lunula? Specialized ligaments attach the nail bed to the underlying bone and are located at the base of the matrix and around the edges of the nail bed. The nail bed contains many nerves, and is attached to the nail plate by a thin layer of tissue.

2. You have the mark of a genius on your fingernails. Most peoples fingernails have a half-moon circle at the base of them called a lunula. However, having a bright white half circle at the base of your thumb has been determined to be the sign of a genius.

An increased lunula can be a result of high blood pressure. The lunula on the thumb reflects the work of the lungs and spleen. It’s the most visible of all and should take up no more than 25% of the whole fingernail. It can get significantly smaller in smokers or bigger when you have arterial hypertension.

The lunula has a primary structural role in defining the free edge of the distal nail plate. Lunular anomalies include changes in form and structure and in color.

Muehrcke lines are multiple transverse white linear bands parallel to the lunula of the fingernail. They represent an apparent leukonychia as they result from an abnormality in the vasculature of the nail bed.

Treatment of Muehrcke’s Lines If your albumin level is too low, you may be given albumin through a vein (by IV, or intravenously). The lines tend to go away when your albumin level returns to normal, or near normal.

Muehrcke’s lines are most commonly associated with metabolic stress and chronic hypoalbuminaemia (usually < 2 g/dL), such as nephrotic syndrome, chronic liver disease, or severe malnutrition. In addition, Muehrcke’s lines have also been associated with infections, chemotherapy drugs, and high altitude.

Splinter hemorrhages look like thin, red to reddish-brown lines of blood under the nails. They run in the direction of nail growth. They are named splinter hemorrhages because they look like a splinter under the fingernail. The hemorrhages may be caused by tiny clots that damage the small capillaries under the nails.
