1. Here are a few fingernail facts:

    Fingernails grow from the white, half-moon shape often 
    visible at the base of the nail. This is called the "growth plate" or "lunula".

    As more cells form in the growth plate, the older cells 
    are pushed forward. During this growth process, the cells 
    die and become filled with a hard protein called keratin. 
    It is keratin that makes the nails hard. A fingernail grows 
    about 1/10th of an inch per month. It takes 6 to 9 months
    to grow a nail from cuticle to fingertip. 
    Fingernails also have a high sulfur content. 
    This is why, if you accidentally burn your fingernail, 
     say, in the flame of a candle, it stinks something awful.
    Nails are ten times more porous than skin and can 
    become chapped. Chapped nails are more likely to break
     in response to environmental damage -- that is, when you
     use your nails to pry something open, or when you catch
     them on things, or when you do a lot of gardening.
    Infants' fingernails are very thin. Their nails tend to get 
    torn rather than cut.
    As people age, their fingernails get thin. Their toenails, 
     however, get thick.
