Why are some part of the body are more sensitive than the others?
In some parts of the body, there are more nerves in the skin, thus the sensitivity of these areas is enhanced.
What are the cranial nerves in the tongue?
Yes, there are nerves in the middle of your tongue. There are several different kinds of nerves. Some are pain nerves. Other nerves measure pressure, temperature, and location. Different areas of the body have different mixtures of these nerves. For example, the hands have more nerves that sense temperature than most of your skin, and the fingertips are more sensitive to pressure than most areas. The tongue is not extremely sensitive to pressure on the outside, but is very sensitive to it on the inside. This is why a light bite of the tongue doesn't hurt, but suddenly hurts more when the bite is harder.
Why are some body parts better at feeling than others?
More sensitive areas have more receptors that sense pressure, temperature, etc., thus making them more sensitive to touch than others. For example, fingertips have more receptors than the back of the leg and are therefore more sensitive. I think there are more there because they are considered more important to the body or easily damaged. The face, with its proximity to the brain, has more receptors than between your toes. Although, I think the middle of the back doesn't have as many even though it is near the spine, so there may be more to this.
