What else can I help you with?
Which arteries supply the legs with blood?
The main artery that feeds the legs would be the femoral artery.
How would you trace the path of blood flow from the femoral artery to the femoral vein?
I believe you would use a tracer chemical and an MRI or CT scanner.
If a cardiologist inserts a catheter into a patient's right femoral artery which arteries would the tube have to pass through in order to reach the entrance to the left coronary artery?

Assume someone has been injured in an auto accident and is hemmorrhaging badly what pressure point would you compress to help stop bleeding from the thigh?
Probably the femoral artery which is palpable in your loin.
Why does sitting cross legged for a long time cause your legs to fall asleep?
Because it cuts off circulation? That would be my guess. It cuts off the blood flow to the femoral artery, which is on the inside of the thigh.
What is the largest a vein or artery in the human body?
For veins the longest is The great saphenous vein. For arteries width wise it would be the aorta but length it's the the superficial femoral artery.
To stop severe bleeding of the upper leg which pressure point should you use?
Femoral
Can you die from hitting the vein in your leg?
Yes, it would be the femoral vein. If it is cut, you could die in a matter of seconds. If it is just injured, then a clot could develop. While death from the initial injury would not be immediately, a thrown blood clot could cause an immediate, life-threatening condition.
Can drinking Pepsi cause chest pains?
The most common cause of such "chest pains" would be due to esophageal refllux. However, in certain instances, especially in those individuals with significant cardiovascular risk factors or diagnosed coronary artery disease (for instance), caffeinated products (...and caffeine is a stimulant) can cause coronary artery spasm and angina. Therefore, if the chest pains are heavy, in the center of the chest (typically), and occur with numbness, pain or tingling of the jaw, shoulder, arm or hand, then it would be best to have this assessed emergently.
What would cause a spasm on the left side of my face effecting my eye and my mouth?
Constipation, I think. It happens to me.
Can an individual live without their Femoral Artery?
The survivability of a bullet wound to the femoral artery is dependent on many factors. The most important factors are the severity and location of the bleeding and the availability of advanced medical care. The size of the victim, the possibility of infection, and the activity of the victim after being shot are all also extremely important. Serious bleeding from the femoral artery must be properly treated immediately. A few minutes can be all that is necessary for the wound to guarantee permanent disability such as brain damage or the need for amputation. A wound to the upper femoral artery caused by a direct shot from a heavy rifle slug is likely to kill within ten minutes.
