Keywords: how do they grow

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?!
