Femoral artery
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The femoral artery is the large artery that takes oxygen rich blood to a human's legs. Coming from the heart the blood flows along the iliac artery which then divides into the two (bifurcates) femoral arteries, to supply blood to each leg.[1] The artery is very close to the surface where it passes through the groin.
