Finger tip has numerous nerve endings and that's why they are too sensitive. Similar is the case with tongue which has numerous nerves in order to propagate the taste sensation from the taste buds on the tongue
Yes, there are more nerve endings in the fingers than in many other parts of the body.

sometimes you cut yourself on a bunch of nerve endings making it hurt more. eg. a small cut on your fingers huts a lot because you have lots of nerve endings there where if you cut your self on your elbow you can barely feel it.
Areas that are more associated with sensory systems such as hands feet have more nerves
No, the largest parts of the motor homunculus are actually the hands, face, and tongue. These areas have more nerve representation compared to other body parts in the motor cortex.
There are typically more touch receptors in the hands and fingers compared to the legs. This is because the hands and fingers have a higher concentration of nerve endings, allowing for more sensitive tactile perception.
The nerve endings in the clitoris are more sensitive than those in other parts of the body.
The main difference in nerve endings between males and females is the distribution and sensitivity of certain types of nerve fibers. In general, females tend to have more nerve endings in certain areas, such as the clitoris and vaginal walls, which can contribute to increased sensitivity and pleasure. Males, on the other hand, may have more nerve endings in the penis and scrotum. These differences can impact sexual arousal and response in each gender.
because you use your hands to feel, right? i mean you dont use your elbow or your nose to touch stuff :P
No. There are more sensory nerve endings involved in the hands.
Tactile corpuscle are the nerve endings in the skin that respond to the lightest touch. They are most concentrated on the fingertips and lips.
The skin is the part of the body that has the most nerve endings. The highest concentration of nerve endings is typically found on the hands and lips, allowing for sensitive touch and temperature sensation.
