Wrinkled fingers, often experienced after prolonged exposure to water, occur due to a physiological response that helps improve grip in wet conditions. The skin on the fingertips and palms has a higher density of nerve endings and blood vessels, which causes the blood vessels to constrict when submerged in water, leading to the wrinkled appearance. This adaptation is thought to enhance our ability to handle objects in slippery environments.
