i believe nails continue to grow because even though your "Dead" as in your heart is not supplying oxygen to the brain, cells continue to do work for a short period of time, thus causing hair and nails to grow for a short ammount of time
fingernails never grow after death...its your body's skin that shrink and it seems that the nails are growing...
On average, fingernails grow faster than toenails. Fingernails typically grow at a rate of about 3mm per month, while toenails grow at a rate of about 1mm per month. However, individual growth rates can vary.
Fingernails are made of a protein called keratin, and they grow from the base of the nail bed. They protect the fingertips and help with grasping objects. Healthy nails are smooth, uniform in color, and strong.
because they don't cut them and don't have jobs that wear them down.
My fingernails grow about 10mm each year. My toenails grow at about one-half that rate. The dimensions of a book could conveniently be given in mm.
Hair and fingernails always grow continuously unless intentionally trimmed or cut. Additionally, plants and trees grow as long as they have access to sunlight, water, and nutrients.
no silly
Don't you mean, "how fast do your fingernails grow?"
No, fingernails do not digest in the human body. They are made of a protein called keratin, which is not broken down by the digestive system. Instead, fingernails grow continuously and are eventually pushed out as new cells replace the old ones.
On average, fingernails grow faster than toenails. Fingernails typically grow at a rate of about 3mm per month, while toenails grow at a rate of about 1mm per month. However, individual growth rates can vary.
After death, the hair and nails may appear to continue growing due to the skin retracting as it dries out, giving the illusion of growth. However, there is no actual growth occurring in the body after death.
Trick question.! Fingernails do not grow in either;
AHHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! (ROFL) I do not understand your question. It might be a saying. Money doesn't grow on fingernails.
No they cant,the Maine thing that make them grow dies.
My toenails definitely grow faster than my fingernails. I must be one of the unusual people in this world because everything I read sayd that fingernails grow faster. I know for a fact that my toenails grow faster, but I have no idea why. I wish my fingernails would grow as fast as my toenails! I don't think that toenails grow faster than fingernails, it's that toenails tend to be stronger so they don't break as easily. That's why it seems to some people that their toenails are growing faster than their fingernails; Fingernails are more susceptible to breakage because they are thinner.
A keratinocyte is the cell from which hair and fingernails are derived.
No There is a myth about facial hair growing after death (and fingernails as well). Hair does not grow after death (nor do fingernails). However, there can be an illusion of hair growing after death. The skin can shrink, exposing more hair.
No, fingernails do not grow at different rates on the same hand. They do however grow at different rates on the more dominate hand.
