Question

Which leg has the main artery?

Answer 1

Arteries of the leg:

1. The arteries that supply oxygen-rich blood to the legs transport blood from the heart to the thigh, lower leg, and foot.
2. The femoral artery is the primary artery in the leg. Below the inguinal ligament, it is the continuation of the external iliac artery.
3. When the abdominal aorta bifurcates, the external iliac artery is created as a branch of the common iliac artery.
4. The main arteries and their branches are divided into various sections.
5. Along its length, these sub-branches create perforating and connecting arteries, ensuring a steady flow of oxygenated blood to all areas of the thigh, lower leg, and foot.
6. The femoral artery in the lower limb has the main artery.
