Femoral artery and its branches

This tutorial covers the femoral artery, its anatomical course, branches, and clinical relevance. The femoral artery is a major blood supply to the lower limb, originating from the external iliac artery. It travels through the femoral triangle and gives rise to several branches, including the deep femoral artery. The tutorial also highlights clinical aspects such as palpation for pulse, cannulation, and potential complications like occlusion.
