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.
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.
The appendicular region of the body includes the limbs and their respective attachments to the trunk. Specifically, it comprises the upper limbs (arms, forearms, wrists, and hands) and the lower limbs (thighs, legs, ankles, and feet). Additionally, the shoulder girdle and pelvic girdle, which connect the limbs to the axial skeleton, are also considered part of the appendicular region.

your arms are the upper limbs and your legs are the lower limbs :)
The arms are often referred to as upper limbs or upper extremities, while the legs are referred to as lower limbs or lower extremities.
locomotion which means movement.
The bones of the lower limbs are larger and heavier than the bones of the upper limbs because they must support the body's weight and provide stability during activities like walking, running, and jumping. The lower limbs also have larger muscle groups attached to them, which contribute to their increased size and strength compared to the upper limbs.
Lower parts of the body vs. upper parts of the body, e.g. arms(upper), legs(lower).
You can not run without moving your upper limbs in contra lateral positions to lower limbs. (Try to run with upper limbs tied to your body.) Importance of running in football needs no comment. Also imagine the goalkeeper not using his upper limbs!
An "extremity" refers to your limbs (arms and legs). Lower extremities are your legs; upper extremities are your arms.
Upper limbs= Scapula, clavical, humerus, radius, ulnar, 8 carpals, 5 metacarpals and 14 phalanges Xs 2= 64. Lower limbs= Coxal, femur, patella, tibia, fibula, 7 tarsals, 5 metatarsals and 14 phalanges Xs 2= 62.
The appendicular divison (126 bones) consist of the pectoral girdle, upper limbs, pelvic girdle, and lower limbs.

Hip bone transfer the weight of the upper body into the legs, by connecting spine to the lower limbs
The appendicular skeleton is the component of the skeletal system that consists of the upper and lower limbs, as well as the pelvic and shoulder girdles. This part of the skeleton is involved in movement and provides stability and support to the body.
