Researchers in Montreal have identified the body parts most sensitive to touch. A team at the Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM) found the neck, forearms and vaginal margin are the most sensitive to light touch and the clitoris and nipples are most sensitive to both pressure and vibration.
The forehead and fingertips are the most sensitive parts to pain, according to the first map created by scientists of how the ability to feel pain varies across the human body.
The receptors in our skin are not distributed in a uniform way around our bodies. Some places, such as our fingers and lips, have more touch receptors than other parts of our body, such as our backs. That is one reason why we are more sensitive to touch on our fingers and face than on our backs.

Vestigial organs and body parts refer to those that have little or no purpose in humans. They are a vestige left over from our ancestors. We have more than 100 vestigial anomalies, the most renowned of which are the appendix, wisdom teeth, coccyx, external ear, and male nipples.

Of all the organs in the human body, the heart is without a doubt the hardest worker. Beating an average of 72 times per minute, it's responsible for pumping 2,000 gallons or more of blood through the body each day.
It is, in fact, the human body's hardest substance. Using the scale of mineral hardness developed by German mineralogist Frederich Mohs in 1812, tooth enamel ranked 5 out of the 1-10 values. Diamonds ranked 10 (hardest) and plaster of Paris ranked only 2 on the Moh's scale.
The brain is the control centre of the nervous system and is located within the skull. Its functions include muscle control and coordination, sensory reception and integration, speech production, memory storage, and the elaboration of thought and emotion.
Different parts of our body have different temperatures, with the rectum being the warmest (37℃), followed by the ears, urine and the mouth. The armpit (35.9℃) is the coldest part of our body that is usually measured.

Tendons are the connective tissue, which joins skeletal muscles to bones. Hence nervous tissue is absent in a tendon. Nervous tissue's main work is to transmit messages within our body. The basic cells which transmit messages are neurons.
Brains can work 24 hours a day with no rest.
Where in the human body do we have the most nerves? Most nerves (neurons) easy? The brain. Most nerves endings finger tips and tongue.
People with this condition can feel the difference between sharp and dull and hot and cold, but cannot sense, for example, that a hot beverage is burning their tongue.
