		The artery is separated from the capsule of the hip-joint by the tendon of the Psoas major, from the Pectineus by the femoral vein and profunda vessels, and from the Adductor longus by the femoral vein.
		The femoral vein is occasionally placed along the medial side of the artery throughout the entire extent of the femoral trangle; or it may be split so that a large vein is placed on either side of the artery for a greater or lesser distance.
		It is accompanied by the branch of the femoral nerve to the Vastus lateralis.

		The lateral femoral cutaneous nerve, a branch of the femoral nerve or of the lumbar plexus, supplies skin on the anterolateral aspect of the thigh and is liable to compression in the region of the inguinal ligament and produces paresthesia (meralgia paresthetica).

		At the midinguinal point the external iliac artery passes posterior to the inguinal ligament, the direct continuation of this vessel in the thigh is the femoral artery which lies in the lateral part of the femoral sheath.
		The femoral vessels are enclosed within the femoral sheath - a funnel-shaped prolongation of the psoas and transversalis fasciae which blends with the adventitia of the artery and vein about 2.5 cm below the inguinal ligament.
		An area of dead space lies medial to the femoral vein within this sheath, this space (femoral canal) allows the vein to expand during increased venous return and contains efferent lymphatic vessels passing from the deep inguinal lymph nodes to the para-aortic nodes.
