The density of receptors in a body part, not the size, is directly related to the brain area devoted to it.
19:10 - 22:03 (02:53)
Summary
The density of receptors in a body part, not the size, is directly related to the brain area devoted to it. Areas of the body with denser receptors, such as the lips, fingertips, genitalia and eyes, are more sensitive to pain than others, such as large areas with low sensitivity like the back or legs.
