What is the differences in blood in the femoral artery and femoral vein?

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.


What blood that carries away from the heart?
