finger pads
Touch-sensitive digit ends
Finger pads are the fleshy cushions on the underside of the fingertips, rich in nerve endings and highly sensitive to touch.
They leave fingerprints and provide grip.
In anatomy and dermatology, the term distinguishes this area from the rest of the finger: The rash appeared only on her finger pads.
