Explanation

The "left femoral vessel" refers to the major blood vessels found in the left leg. These vessels, which include a large artery and vein, are responsible for carrying blood to and from the leg. The artery brings oxygen-rich blood from the heart to the leg, while the vein carries oxygen-depleted blood back to the heart. These vessels are located near the surface of the leg, just below the hip.
