Correct answer: B. Femoral Artery

- B. Femoral Artery
- C. Hepatic Artery
- D. Intercostal Arteries
Explanation
The femoral artery is the continuation of the external iliac artery. The external iliac artery is the main artery that supplies blood to the lower limb. It arises from the common iliac artery and passes through the inguinal ligament into the thigh. At the inguinal ligament, the external iliac artery becomes the femoral artery. The femoral artery continues down the thigh and supplies blood to the muscles, nerves, and skin of the thigh. It also gives off branches that supply blood to the pelvis and the groin. At the knee, the femoral artery becomes the popliteal artery. The femoral artery is a very important artery. It is the main artery that supplies blood to the lower limb. If the femoral artery is blocked, it can lead to serious complications, such as gangrene and amputation.
