The tissue on your fingertips is primarily composed of skin, similar to the skin found on the rest of your body. However, the skin on your fingertips is unique in its structure and contains specialized features that enhance tactile sensitivity and provide better grip. These features include a thicker epidermis, a higher density of sensory receptors called Meissner's corpuscles, and ridges known as fingerprints. The presence of these characteristics allows your fingertips to be highly sensitive to touch, making them important for activities such as sensing textures, manipulating objects, and performing fine motor tasks.
