What term is used for the pocket-like structure that holds the root and matrix of the nail?

Mantel
Onycholysis
Pterygium
Paronychia

The correct answer is: Mantel

A pocket-like structure that holds the root and matrix of the nail is called the mantel. The other options, onycholysis, pterygium, and paronychia, do not refer to this specific structure. Onycholysis is the detachment of the nail from the nail bed, pterygium is a growth of skin over the nail, and paronychia is an infection of the skin around the nail. None of these options accurately describe the pocket-like structure that holds the root and matrix of the nail. Therefore, the correct answer is A.
