A good way to test this would be to wrap someone's hand in something that's as thermally conductive as water but not wet, and also to put someone's hand in body temp water for a while. If they get pruny with the first and not the second, then we know it's heat loss. If they get pruny with the second and not the first, we know it's only due to it being water. If they get pruny with both, then they are either both factors or there's something else going on.

Dr. Moo??? we miss you!!! take over the lead of because science and turn it into because space

It seems relatively obvious that as the body senses a change in temperature like a wet environment which dissipates heat quickly the body causes the vascular constriction to try and control temperature by pulling the blood away from the extremities like the hands and feet and as you said this causes them to in essence deflate and prune. The reason an extremity that has had nerve damage doesn't do this is because of the nerve damage so those blood vessels don't get the signal to constrict. It's a common automatic response to thermal variation. Your fingers don't prune just at the sight of water they actually need to go in it, and should prune more in colder water in a far shorter period of time than warm or hot water. This reaction to thermal loss is so intense that a person suffering from hypothermia will constrict all extremities to the point that they can't use their arms and legs as they are all pulled into a small ball to try and keep the core temperature high enough to prevent death. So at that point the entire human has in essence pruned up. Only after being warmed back up will the person regain use of the extremities just as the blood returns to the fingertips to re inflate with blood. Why does it have to be anything more than that?

Vasoconstriction tied to heat loss? A way for the body to protect itself?

I like to imagine that they get wrinkled because if you're swimming in the ocean or something, they become wrinkled so that you can grip things easier. for example if you drop your keys in a river, you can grab them without them slipping at all

Maybe is just to reduce the lost of body heat when we get wet... with vasoconstriction we have less blood flow therefore less heat lost to environment

My theory is the body is trying to conserve heat.

The way I see it is cold if the blood vessels are restricted that means your body is pulling blood to the core of your body and the extremities restricts blood flow to keep internal organs at temp

Please do an episode on Stark nanotechnology

It could be the body trying to protect core temperature. By restricting blood flow to the fingers and toes.

This was surprisingly interesting.

Doc Moo! I miss her! Wish we could see more of her.

Wasn't this exact topic covered on this channel a year or two ago?

Several others commented on it but I am surprised that hypothermic protection wasn't explored as a possible explanation. It does make sense..... I think

My assumption would be thermoregulation… the less spread out ur blood is the slower u lose heat and water is great at heat transfer

So the wrinkles are caused by blood vessels constricting. Blood vessels also constrict when experiencing hypothermia, in order to keep body heat in the core. Water is an incredible heat sink, having a very high specific heat. That's why climates along the cost are also so much more mild than nearby inland climates. Seems to me that when we come in contact with water, our blood vessels constrict to prevent losing too much body heat to the water, and the wrinkles are just a side effect.

was a nice video... i really liked the idea of increased grip... at least now i know my hands are not drinking water :D

Could it be a form of preserving body heat? the only reason why im asking is because the body does something similar in hypothermia pull blood away from the extremities to keep the core warm. I know this is unlikely because i doubt we loose much or any body heat from our hands in water but would your hands do something similar if it is related to hypothermia?

What if it has something to do with our skin feeling colder when pulled out of the water due to evaporative cooling and such so our body reduces blood flow to maintain body temperature?

I thought it was the same reason your body restricts blood flow to your extremities when your in cold temperatures, to reduce heat transfer and keep your core temperature regulated. Not sure why I thought that, it just made sense to me.

It could be a response to being in the water so long the body starts to gear itself up for going into shock or hypothermia as evolutionary there would be no reason to be in water that long unless you were in trouble, so the body starts to cause vasoconstriction to conserve body heat and improve blood flow to the organs and brain.

Honestly, I think it might have something with termal regulation, and being evolutionary left-over, as usually in the wild water is way to cool down but too long exposure might cause loss of too much temperature so lowering blood pressure in the hands and feet which are bodies strongest terrmal exchange areas with the environment, might be a way to prevent it

Maybe it’s because to safe body heat. Water absorbs more heat than air, so by decreasing the pump in the veins, less blood (and therefore less body heat) gets absorbed by the water. But this is just a thought of me.

in my holiday homework, there is a question that is 'Why does the skin of your finger shrink when you wash clothes for a long time?' and I watched this and now I am confused because according to the chapters I have read I am supposed to answer this 'Soap solution is a hypertonic solution, During the washing of clothes, exosmosis takes place in the skin cells. This leads to shrinkage of skin over the fingers while washing clothes for a long time.' now what should I do?

I love this serie make more videos as this

Must there always be a "why"? Not every single molecule in our body is perfectly constructed.

I heard this can also be dangerous and fatal. If your body is in water for too long you skin becomes damaged which can kill you. There is a photo of a girl trapped neck under water. She died later.

What if it has to do with maintaining body heat in water? I mean why would we constrict or blood vessels when exposed to water? What if the wrinkly skin is just a side effect to the main reason we have this response.

Well when our meat oars gets wrinkled it increases the surface area and makes it easier to swim. Maybe that’s an explanation?

Mabey the reason when your fingers and toes get wrinkly when wet for long periods of time is to send the blood to vital parts of the body. When exposed to cold air or very cold water for a long period of time your fingers and toes become numb because lack of blood flowing in them. There is a similarities between both bodily functions In my opinion
