A member asked:
What are the major arteries on your legs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Femoral/tibial/popli: External iliac artery comes into the groin and gives the common femoral artery which supplies the thighs. At the back of the knee is the popliteal artery and then in the legs are the anterior and posterior tibial arteries and the peroneal artery and in the foot it is the dorsalis pedis artery.
