No, it is an elastic artery
The main artery that feeds the legs would be the femoral artery.
The common femoral vein is medial to the common femoral artery. The common femoral artery lies farther from the body's midline.
Femoral Artery
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.

ascending branch of lateral circumflex femoral artery
The blood in the femoral artery is oxygenated and rich in nutrients, as it carries blood away from the heart to supply the lower limbs. In contrast, the blood in the femoral vein is deoxygenated and contains waste products, as it returns blood from the lower limbs back to the heart. Additionally, the femoral artery has thicker, more muscular walls to withstand higher pressure, while the femoral vein has thinner walls and valves to help prevent backflow.
