Looking for anatomy answer (skin)

Answer 1

there are more nerve endings under the skin of our hands than under the skin of the shoulders.

Also, a larger part of our brain is associated with control of our hands than control of our shoulder (fine versus gross motor control), hence more nerve endings for the hands.
