Best Answer

The major artery of the thigh is the Femoral artery and runs through the muscles, from the groin down the inner leg. It is approximately 4cm in length then it divides into two branches. The superficial femoral artery and the profunda femoris artery, which is closer to the femur that the femoral artery. The femoral artery does not leave the thigh and is aproximately 9 1/2 inches from groin to just above the knee.
