FEMORAL ARTERY
It is the chief artery of the lower limb. It is the continuation of external iliac artery and enters the femoral triangle behind the inguinal ligament at the midinguinal point. It runs downward and medially successively through the femoral triangle and adductor canal. At the lower end of the adductor
canal, it leaves the thigh through the adductor hiatus to enter the popliteal fossa where it continues as the popliteal artery.
Branches
In the femoral triangle:
1. Three superficial branches: Superficial epigastric artery, superficial external pudendal artery, and superficial circumflex iliac artery.
2. Three deep branches: Profunda femoris artery, deep external pudendal artery, and muscular branches.
In the adductor canal:
1. Muscular branches.
2. Descending genicular artery.
