Question

An unpleasant sensation or complication that sometimes follows the removal of an appendage is called

a. fibrositosis

b. myositosis

c. phantom limb

d. sciatica

Answer 1

The correct answer is phantom limb.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is c. phantom limb.

An unpleasant sensation or complication that sometimes follows the removal of an appendage is known as phantom limb. After a limb is amputated, the individual may still experience sensations such as pain, itching, or tingling in the missing limb. This is because the brain continues to receive signals from the nerves that used to innervate the amputated limb, resulting in the perception of sensations from the non-existent limb.
