Explanation: The skin over the dorsum of the hand is sensitive to
temperature because it is thin and its nerve density is
great. The palm of the hand is sensitive to vibration and
is useful in locating a vibration associated with a heart
murmur. The fingertips are concentrated with nerve
endings and can sense fine difference in texture and
consistency. The knuckles are not used in palpation.
