===Periople===
The periople is a small band of soft tissue found over the proximal surface of the wall of the hoof. The periople represents the junction between the wall and the skin of the limb. The periople is responsible for the production of the outer layer of the wall (above). The periople segment extends around the proximal edge of the wall and in horses covers the bulb of the heel and part of the frog. In ruminants is forms part of the join between both hooves of the foot.  The perioplic corium, proximal to the coronary band and continuous with the skin, it produces the thin, shiny layer (stratum externa) of the hoof wall.
