The femoral artery gives off the deep femoral artery and descends along the anteromedial part of the thigh in the femoral triangle. It enters and passes through the adductor canal , and becomes the popliteal artery as it passes through the adductor hiatus in the adductor magnus near the junction of the middle and distal thirds of the thigh.

Just inferolateral to the pubic tubercle the fascia extends downwards forming an arched (falciform) margin of the lateral boundary of the opening. It is covered by a thin perforated part of the superficial fascia called the fascia cribrosa which is pierced by the great saphenous vein, the 3 superficial branches of the femoral artery (except superficial circumflex iliac artery, which pierces ...
Femoral vein and its tributaries - The vein lies medial to the femoral artery at the base of the triangle but as it approaches the apex of the triangle, it lies posteromedially to the femoral artery. It receives drainage from great saphenous vein, circumflex veins, and veins corresponding to the branches of the femoral artery here. [2]
After piercing the femoral sheath and fascia cribrosa, it courses medialward, across the spermatic cord (or round ligament in the female), to be distributed to the integument on the lower part of the abdomen, the scrotum in the male, and the labium majus in the female, anastomosing with branches of the internal pudendal artery.

The arcuate vessels of the uterus are a component of the blood supply of the uterus.They are arteries and veins that branch from the uterine arteries and veins, respectively, with additional anastomoses from the ovarian arteries and veins, [2] and penetrate and assume a circumferential course in the myometrium.
The ovarian fossa is a shallow depression on the lateral wall of the pelvis, where in the ovary lies. This ovarian fossa has the following boundaries: anteriorly : by the external iliac artery and vein; inferiorly : by the broad ligament of the uterus; posteriorly: by the ureter, internal iliac artery and vein
