Most amphibians have four limbs. However, some species have lost limbs or adapted to different environments, leading to variations in the number of limbs among different amphibian species.
Most artificial limbs need to be specially fitted to a person. They are not available for purchase in a regular store. See a doctor if one has questions about artificial limbs.
Upper limbs have arms, hands, and fingers, while lower limbs have legs, feet, and toes. Both upper and lower limbs are important for various activities such as movement, balance, and fine motor skills.
The brain is the endpoint for all conscious sensations from limbs. Signals from sensory receptors in the limbs travel through the spinal cord to the brain, where they are processed and interpreted as different sensations such as touch, pain, or temperature.
The structural components of the pectoral limbs (forelimbs) include the scapula, humerus, radius, ulna, carpals, metacarpals, and phalanges. In contrast, the pelvic limbs (hindlimbs) consist of the pelvis, femur, tibia, fibula, tarsals, metatarsals, and phalanges. Both limb types feature a combination of bones that provide support, mobility, and dexterity, with the pectoral limbs adapted for grasping and manipulation, while the pelvic limbs are designed for locomotion and weight-bearing. Additionally, both limbs include muscles, tendons, ligaments, and joints that facilitate movement and stability.

The main difference between yoga in the Hindu tradition and yoga as a secular activity is in the intent of the practice. While many Westernized forms of yoga are more athletic and body-oriented than the classical Hatha tradition, most of the poses are still the same, as is the emphasis on breathing, focus and calm. In addition, the concept of yoga in Hinduism encompasses much more than the physical practice. One of the foundational texts of yoga lists eight limbs, or elements of yoga, including meditation, physical practice and codes of ethics. While some schools of Western yoga still dwell on the spiritual side, most secular yoga classes spend less time on it.
Reptiles that have limbs use them when them want to walk, climb, swim, or grasp.
The ancient Vedic sage, Maharishi Patanjali, proclaimed an eight fold path to yoga. He called it ashtanga which means "eight limbs". They are: Yama (administration), Niyama (self-discipline), Asana (yoga postures), Pranayama (control of the breath), Prayahara (austerity), Dharana (focus), Dhyana (meditation), Samadhi (perfect consciousness)
