Why are heat sensors located just under the epidermis layer of your skin and not deeper?
So they can detect heat. If the heat sensors were to be deeper then people would have more serious burns. With the heat sensors under the epidermis layer, if a person was to get burnt then it would only burn one layer of the skin. You would risk getting a higher degree burn if the heat sensors were any deeper.
