The femoral artery is the main blood vessel that supplies blood to the quadriceps muscles. The femoral vein is responsible for returning blood from the quadriceps muscles back to the heart, while the saphenous veins are smaller veins that run alongside the femoral vein. The dorsalis pedis artery supplies blood to the feet and the fibular or peroneal artery supplies blood to the lower leg muscles.
