They are 100 times more sensitve than your fingertips!
It depends on your tongue, cause everybody's taste buds are different.
The perception that different tastes are detected in specific regions of the tongue, such as saltiness on the tip, is a common misconception. Taste buds for all basic tastes are actually distributed all over the tongue, with some areas slightly more sensitive to certain tastes than others. Salt receptors are found all over the tongue, not just on the tip.
Atomic absorption is more sensitive to atomic emission when the excitation potential is greater than 3.5eV.
Yes, the tongue can tolerate higher temperatures than the finger because it has tougher tissue and a thicker outer layer. However, it is still possible to burn and damage the tongue by exposing it to extreme heat.
In general, hands tend to be more sensitive than feet. This is because the hands have a higher density of nerve endings, allowing for more precise sensing of touch, pressure, and texture. Feet, on the other hand, are designed to support body weight and withstand pressure, leading to them being less sensitive compared to hands.
Yes. That was a very good question!
The tongue is generally more sensitive than the finger when it comes to detecting taste sensations. This is because the tongue has specialized taste buds that can detect different flavors, while the fingers are more equipped for touch and pressure sensitivity.
my fingertips upon a slight impact with anything are way more sensitive than the back of my hands
The snout of an alligator may seem tough but it is actually more sensitive than a human's fingertips!
No, there are more than 3000 touch receptors in each fingertip, all packed tightly together because of the small space. This means that the palm is less sensitive than the fingertips.
In some parts of the body, there are more nerves in the skin, thus the sensitivity of these areas is enhanced.

Yes, the fingertips have a higher density of nerve endings compared to the rest of the hand, making them more sensitive to heat. This increased sensitivity helps us quickly detect and respond to potentially harmful temperatures. However, the entire hand can still feel heat and play a role in protecting the body from burns.
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.
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.
Body parts that are more sensitive to heat typically have a higher concentration of sensory nerve endings, which respond to changes in temperature. Areas with thinner skin, like the face and hands, tend to be more sensitive to heat compared to areas with thicker skin, like the back. Additionally, regions with more blood flow, like the fingertips, can also feel hotter more quickly.
Fingers are more sensitive to touch than your elbow because your fingertips have a thinner layer of skin and don't have as big as a bone.Fingers are our nerve extremities acts as a sensor to feel touch sensitivity. since the electricity tendency to travel through sharp object/conductor, our nerve ends carry electrical pulse to brain easily.
