^ http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/UBERON_0001361

In the human body, the femoral vein is a blood vessel that accompanies the femoral artery in the femoral sheath. It begins at the adductor canal (also known as Hunter's canal) and is a continuation of the popliteal vein. It ends at the inferior margin of the inguinal ligament, where it becomes the external iliac vein. [WP,unvetted]. [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Femoral_vein ]
