The vessel that serves the lower limb artery is the femoral artery. It is a continuation of the external iliac artery and supplies oxygenated blood to the thigh and leg. As it descends, it branches into several arteries, including the popliteal artery, which further divides to supply the lower leg and foot.
The main vessel that supplies oxygenated blood to the upper limb is the subclavian artery. This artery branches off from the aortic arch in the chest and continues into the upper limb where it gives off smaller branches to provide blood supply to the arm and hand.
The artery in the groin is called the femoral artery. It is a major blood vessel that supplies oxygenated blood to the lower limb. The femoral artery runs from the pelvis down through the thigh and branches into other arteries that further supply the leg.

The femoral artery is the chief blood supply into the legs.
The lower limb. It and its branches supply the whole leg and foot.
The axillary artery is a major artery of the upper limb. It continues from the subclavian artery.
This comes from my A&P lab manual... "In the armpit, the subclavian artery becomes the axillary artery, which serves the upper limb." The previous answer was "brachial," which could also be a correct answer. "The brachial artery divides into the radial and ulnar arteries, which follow the same-named bones to supply the forearm and hand."
