Answers:
The lunula is is the little half-moon shaped on your finger nail!. :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

It is located at the end of the nail that is closest to the skin of the finger but still lies under the nail!. It is not actually white but only appears so when seen through the nail!.

It is half-moon-shaped, and has unique histologic features!.

The lunula is most noticeable on the thumb, and not everyone's lunula is visible!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Hold your fingers out in front of you (fingertips up)!.

Notice your fingernail and that pale part nearest the cuticle (by the flesh end of the nail -- not the tip) that is curved like the tip!?
That's the lunula!.
