Final answer:

Third-degree burns damage epidermis and dermis extensively, while fourth-degree burns affect muscle and bone, diminishing pain sensitivity.


Explanation:

Third-degree burns fully extend into the epidermis and dermis, damaging tissues, affecting nerve endings and sensory function. The affected area may appear white, red, or black, requiring medical attention for slow healing. In contrast, fourth-degree burns are even more severe, reaching underlying muscle and bone, with damaged nerve endings resulting in decreased pain sensitivity.
