Where is the thigh artery

The artery of the thigh is generally located in the groin and is transformed into the femoral artery by the migration of the external iliac artery. The femoral artery is about 3 cm long and can be felt at the most superficial part of the body surface at the groin, and then divided into the deep femoral artery and the superficial femoral artery. The deep femoral artery travels on the posterior side of the thigh and ends at the knee joint, while the superficial femoral artery travels on the anterior medial side of the thigh in the femoral canal, penetrates at the mouth of the femoral canal, and migrates into the popliteal artery at the knee joint, which continues downward into the tibiofibular trunk and the anterior tibial artery, which travels on the lateral side of the lower leg and then gradually becomes the dorsalis pedis artery. The tibiofibular trunk divides into the peroneal artery and the posterior tibial artery on its way down, where the thigh artery can be palpated at the groin and at the dorsum of the foot and the medial ankle, which are the more superficial sites representing the femoral, dorsalis pedis, and posterior tibial arteries, respectively.
