In cases of burn injury, why do the eyelids, ears, and nose tend to sustain deeper burns than other areas of the body?

Respuesta :

These areas have similarly thinner skin than other parts of the body. The thinnest of the three is the skin that is covering the eyelids, which is 0.5mm thick. That is one of the main reasons why the eyelids, ears, and nose tend to sustain deeper burns.
