Everyone. Let's take a look at this question together. The femoral artery supplies blood to the lower extremities. Which of the following is the origin of the femoral artery. Is it answer choice? A, the basilar artery. Answer choice. B the iliac artery, answer choice. C, the sub clavia artery or answer choice. D the dorsalis pedis artery. Let's work this problem out together to try to figure out which of the following answer choices is the name for the origin of the femoral artery. So in order to solve this question, we have to recall what we have learned about the femoral artery to determine which of the following arteries is the origin of the femoral artery, which we can recall that the femoral artery, which is a large blood vessel provides oxygenated blood to the lower extremities and in part to the lower anterior abdominal wall. And the femoral artery arises as a continuation of the external iliac artery after it passes under the inguinal ligament, which means that the femoral artery is a continuation of the external iliac artery. So the origin of the femoral artery is answer choice B, the iliac artery and all other answer choices are incorrect since they are not the origin of the femoral artery, which is the iliac artery. I hope you found this video to be helpful. Thank you and goodbye.
