Why upper limb flexion and lower limb extension in a stroke?
The key to understandis the red nucleus situated in the mesencephalon. These bilateralnucleiinfluence onlythe upper limbs increasing, if working properly, the muscular flexor tone. Strokes sparing the brainstem, and so the red nuclei,will cause upper limb flexion.By contrast, lesionsinvolving the red nucleus or itsprojectionswill cause upper limb extension. The lower limbs are not affected by the red nuclei. They undergo just the control of the cortex, that normally inhibits the extensor tone of the lower limbs. A stroke blocking this control will cause lower limbs extension. Depending on the location, different results are so expected.
What is the portion of the body that includes the upper and lower limbs?
appendicular.
Where do nerves serving the upper limbs arise?
Cervical enlargement
Why not cannulate lower limbs?
Cannulation of the lower limbs is generally avoided due to the susceptibility of the lower limbs to infection due to broken skin and poor foot hygiene. The practice is contraindicated in diabetics, mostly due to the decrease in quality vascularisation and risk of diabetic ulcer development from cannulation.
What is hereditary spastic paraplegia?

What are the component of the appendicular skeleton?

What is the function of the hipbone?
Hip bone transfer the weight of the upper body into the legs, by connecting spine to the lower limbs
Which component of the skeletal system is made up of the upper and lower limbs and the pelvic and shoulder girdles?
The appendicular skeleton is what makes up the limbs as well as the shoulder and pelvic girdles.
