The extremities of the body include the hands, feet, arms, and legs. These are typically the farthest points from the core of the body and are used for activities such as grasping, walking, and running.
An extremity on the human body is another word for limb which refers to any jointed appendage. This normally applies to arms and legs but can also include the feet and the hands as they too are jointed.The extremities are the appendages of the body: arms, forearms, thighs, legs, fingers, and toes.
Fingers and toes.

Pressure is necessary to circulate the blood to all extremities of the body.
In extreme cold, the body constricts blood vessels in the extremities, such as the fingers and toes, to minimize heat loss and maintain core body temperature. This process, called vasoconstriction, reduces blood flow to the extremities and helps to preserve heat and prioritize blood flow to vital organs. This response can also lead to numbness or tingling in the extremities due to reduced circulation.
Long bones are located in the arms and legs of the body. Examples of long bones include the femur, tibia, fibula, humerus, radius, and ulna. These bones contribute to the structure and overall function of the skeletal system.

Upper extremities refer to the parts of the body located above the waist, including the arms, hands, shoulders, and fingers. These body parts are important for activities such as reaching, grasping, and supporting objects.
Centripetal distribution (Medicine: communicable diseases) pertains to the distribution of a certain skin S/Sx from the extremities to the body (e.g smallpox). Eruption starts from the face and extremities towards the body.
Vasoconstriction is the closing of arteries supplying blood to the bodies extremities. As the extremities are the coldest bits of the body, when the arteries constrict less heat is lost from the blood in these areas. This keeps the core of the body warm.
Frostbite usually effects the body's extremities such as the toes and fingers.
