Homework Help: Biology

Hi, I tested the three most sensitive areas of my body and it was the fingertip, the tounge and the lower lip, and the question asks me "why do you think it is so?"

I researched everywhere but cant find the answer probably because there are different sensitive areas other people have, anyways, can you guys please help me solve this?

it has something to do with the nerves being more active there, but i cant put it into a sentence. my most sensitive areas are my eyes, my teeth, and my tongue.

Number of sensory receptors varies in those regions. The fingertip has the most.
