Answer 1

Answer:

The density of sensory receptors in the fingertop is___Larger______ compared to the density of sensory receptors in the anterior

Explanation:

At the fingertips there is a greater density of receptors, in this case they are tactile receptors called Meissner corpuscles that are a type of nerve endings in the skin that are responsible for sensitivity to soft touch and Merkel cells that transmit stimuli mechanics to sensory neurons. This fine touch, responsible for providing subtle details about the shape of objects.

Answer 2

Answer: density (larger) compared to the anterior forearm

Explanation: Somatic sensory receptors, for proprioception, and pain are distributed throughout the body and are not being condensed into small and specialized sensory surfaces, as most other sensory systems are arranged but covered with skin.
