What is "femoral artery"?
The femoral artery is a large artery located in the thigh region of the human body. It is a continuation of the external iliac artery and serves as the main blood supply to the lower limb. The femoral artery provides oxygenated blood to the muscles, bones, and other structures of the thigh and eventually branches into smaller arteries to supply the lower leg and foot.
