is the profunda femoral vein a deep vein
Deep vein of the thigh The deep vein of the thigh, (profunda femoris vein or deep femoral vein) is a large deep vein in the thigh. It receives blood from the inner thigh and proceeds superiorly and medially running alongside the profunda femoris artery to join with the femoral vein approximately at the level of the inferior-most portion of the ischial tuberosity.[1]
Vein Veins are less muscular than arteries and are often closer to the skin. There are valves in most veins to prevent backflow.
