The artery of the groin that supplies the lower extremity, including the anterior and anteromedial surfaces of the thigh, whose pulse is palpable below the inguinal ligament, midway between the anterior superior iliac spine and the symphysis pubis. An artery of the thigh; in general it arises from the external iliac artery distal to the inguinal ligment and continues as the popliteal artery. The femoral artery is a large artery in the muscles of the thigh. It is a continuation of external iliac artery where it enters the femoral triangle at the mid inguinal point behind the inguinal ligament. It leaves femoral triangle through apex beneath the sartorius muscle. It enters the popliteal fossa by passing through the 5th osseo-aponeurotic (adductor hiatus) opening of adductor magnus where it becomes the Popliteal Artery. |
