"Vena femoralis" is the Latin term for the femoral vein. This major vein is located in the thigh and is responsible for draining blood from the lower limb. It runs alongside the femur (thigh bone). It collects blood from various smaller veins in the leg and foot. The "vena femoralis" carries deoxygenated blood back towards the heart. As it enters the pelvis, it becomes the external iliac vein.
