Nerve endings are located at varying depths in the skin to serve different sensory functions. Superficial nerve endings, like those for touch and temperature, are positioned closer to the surface to quickly detect changes in the environment. In contrast, deeper nerve endings are often associated with pressure and pain, which require a more robust structure to transmit signals from deeper tissues. This arrangement allows the body to efficiently process a wide range of sensory information.
