Why is it important to learn anatomy in a nail technician course

[firehazzard]

I am doing a level 3 diploma in nail technician, i have an assignment to do on anatomy, i wanted to know why i have to know this as a nail technician, because my next assignment is nail anatomy which is needed for obvious reasons but cant understand why i have to do study full anatomy i.e. muscles, skelatal, cell division etc. does any one know why as im stuck and my assignment question is "why does an understanding of anatomy make you a better nail technician".

maybe it is something to do with the rate that nails can grow - healthy bodies will mean healthy nails etc. not sure why it should be in so much depth though!
