Where is the femoral pulse located?

On the dorsum of the foot near the first metatarsal

Behind the knee in the popliteal fossa

Posterior to the medial malleolus at the ankle

In the groin, just below the inguinal ligament

Verified step by step guidance

Understand that the femoral pulse is a palpable pulse point where the femoral artery passes close to the surface of the body.

Recall the anatomical location of the femoral artery, which runs through the thigh and is a continuation of the external iliac artery.

Identify the specific location of the femoral pulse: it is found in the groin area, just below the inguinal ligament, where the femoral artery is superficial and can be easily felt.

Compare this location to other pulse points mentioned in the options, such as the dorsum of the foot (dorsalis pedis artery), behind the knee (popliteal artery), and posterior to the medial malleolus (posterior tibial artery). These are distinct pulse points unrelated to the femoral pulse.

Conclude that the femoral pulse is specifically located in the groin, just below the inguinal ligament, and this is the correct answer based on anatomical knowledge.
