why we feel less cold in our face than other parts of body?

Answer 1

You have a lot more capillaries in your face because your skin is relatively thin there, so you have more blood nearer to your face than in other parts of your body. The capillaries pump more hot blood there. That is why if you get a cut on the face or head it usually looks worse than it is because of all the blood. Trust me, med school taught me something.

Answer 2

I can't claim certainty in this answer, but my speculation is that the skin on the face is relatively 'thin' - meaning the time required for cold to penetrate the face and 'NUMB' the nerves (as achieved when you put your hand in cold water) is relatively quick.

Thus the face would actually lose heat so fast that the skin on the surface is numbed by extreme cold which in turn limits your perception of cold - oddly enough.

In fact, this lack of 'cold awareness' on the facial extremities (nose, ears) may account for many episodes of frostbite every year.

Hopefully you'll get a more mechanistically specific response to this query.

Good question and KEEP STUDYING SCIENCE!!!!

Answer 3

well it's just my opinion. the arrangement of our body temperature between cold and heat and the most sensitive nerves are in our hands and feet. try this in front of the air conditioner your hands and feet must be the coldest of your body temperature and then wash your hand with water and you can feel the decrease temperature between your hands or feet and the water temperature. it's automatically make the same as your temperature but the face it's just equalize to the body's heat because it's the nearest one. so in my opinion the hands and feet has the most sensitive nerve about heat and cold. thnx.

It's one of the bodies natural hot spots like in your armpit and crotch.
