probably one-epidermis.The skin is made up of the following layers, with each layer performing specific functions:\n\nepidermis \ndermis \nfat layer \nepidermis The epidermis is the thin outer layer of the skin. The epidermis itself is made up of three sub-layers: \nstatus corneum (horny layer)\nThis layer contains continually shedding, dead keratinocytes (the primary cell type of the epidermis). The keratin, a protein formed from the dead cells, protects the skin from harmful substances. \nkeratinocytes (squamous cells)\nThis layer contains living keratinocytes (squamous cells), which help provide the skin with what it needs to protect the rest of the body. \nbasal layer\nThe basal layer is the inner layer of the epidermis, containing basal cells. Basal cells continually divide, forming new keratinocytes and replacing the old ones that are shed from the skin's surface. \nThe epidermis also contains melanocytes, which are cells that produce melanin (skin pigment).\n \ndermis The dermis is the middle layer of the skin. The dermis is made up of the following: \nblood vessels \nlymph vessels \nhair follicles \nsweat glands \nThe dermis is held together by a protein called collagen, made by fibroblasts (skin cells that give the skin its strength and resilience). This layer also contains pain and touch receptors.\n \nsubcutis The subcutis is the deepest layer of skin and is also known as the subcutaneous layer. The subcutis, consisting of a network of collagen and fat cells, helps conserve the body's heat while protecting other organs from injury by acting as a "shock absorber."

The two answers that you see most often are nerve cell and ovum.\nBoth are correct.\n1. the nerve cells that make up sensory nerves have their cell bodies in the dorsal root ganglion located in the back and the have extensions (dendrites) that reach to the area sensed (all the way to the toes. (many millimeters long but very, very thin).\n2. The cell body of the ovum is the round and had the largest volume of any cell.

The amount of surface area of the brain-cerebral cortex allocated to the index finger is GREAT in humans.  Go look up the Homonculus (little man) and see the diagram of the brain with the relative amounts of surface area of the pre central and post central gyri utilized for that finger.  AMAZING.  Esp the idea of fine motor for needlepoint and or for reading braille.

it feels like a bee sting.  this is from interviews with soldiers and policemen that have been shot.  most nerve endings are in your skin, and not in your muscles or organs.  you just feel the pain at the skins surface.

Don't listen to Karasu. Although, if you do, or if you do anything in excess with your right hand, you could be developing carpal tunnel syndrome. Seriously, if you're in school and write a lot or if your occupation requires excess use of your hands or anything, you should see a doctor if it continues. Some carpal tunnel sufferers need to have their thumb drained, fluid will build up putting pressure on the muscle and joints causing shooting pain! It's usually no big deal, but in most cases the pain is pretty severe. Try to pay attention and if you see any swelling at all, go to a doctor within a week or so if possible. If you don't get treatment soon enough, it can cause permanent damage. A lot of people have it. Don't worry.

There's no rule.  Whichever hand that you feel benefits you the most.  Since your not wearing the glove gor style points, your decision  to use it is because you think it helps you or, that it eliminates a problem (ie - blisters).

LOOOTS of OJ, and vitamin C, along with taking a multi-vitamin. Lots of sleep, excerise, eat right, and WASH your hands ALLL the time....you know, the normal stuff. :)

the most logical answer:\n10 minus the number of finger you're not holding up!

It should be fine.  I did the same thing to my thumb a few years back and it is still raised a little in comparison to my other thumb.  I think it's the body's natural reaction to trauma.  It's a way of strengthening that area to prevent further injury to the same area.

make an o with thumb and index finger and hold up remaining other three fingers

In a single hand, there are 5 phalanges, and 5 meta phalanges. \n\nI hope this helps!

I know exactly what you mean!!!......I play NASCAR Thunder 03 for a long time and my blister on my thumb hurt so bad....I just had to stop playing it! It sucked to becaus eI was so addicted to winning it I didn't want to stop.....But if you just ween yourself off the game...let yourself heal...then go back to it later you should be fine. I can imagine that you could do some serious damage to your wrist if you work it for that long without resting it

Functionally we have four fingers and a thumb. The thumb can do something the fingers can't, namely oppose (cross the palm). If someone loses (or is born without) a thumb, this is much more functionally significant than losing a finger, and in fact there is special surgery done to give such kids a functioning 'thumb' (moving the index finger).\n\nStructurally - well, the bones are basically the same, although the thumb attaches differently (to the wrist bones instead of to the metacarpals). The muscles are different (again, allowing for opposition.)\n\nI vote for four fingers and a thumb, i.e. five digits. :)
