Just out of curiosity: Sure, everyone knows that nails grow from the cuticle (sort of like hair) but there seems to be a slight problem. They are firmly stuck to the flesh of the fingers and toes all along the way to the tip of the limb(? and is there a generic word for 'finger or toe'?). So how do they move?! Dan B.

A generic word for "finger or toe" - digit. But I don't know how their nails grow. Susan
