where is the femoral artery located in the human body
Femoral artery The femoral artery is a large artery in the thigh and the main arterial supply to the leg. It enters the thigh from behind the inguinal ligament as the common femoral artery, a continuation of the external iliac artery. Injuries to the femoral artery can require reattachment surgery.[citation needed]
Thigh In human anatomy, the thigh is the area between the hip (pelvis) and the knee. Anatomically, it is part of the lower limb.[1]
Vein Veins are less muscular than arteries and are often closer to the skin. There are valves in most veins to prevent backflow.
Cephalic vein In human anatomy, the Cephalic vein (also known as the antecubital vein[1]) is a superficial vein in the arm.
