- The femoral artery and vein are indeed located in the thigh, which is correct. The other statements contain inaccuracies: B) The common iliac veins actually empty into the inferior vena cava, not the superior. C) The celiac artery does not branch into the superior and inferior mesenteric arteries; these arteries have separate origins from the abdominal aorta.

E) The jugular veins primarily drain blood from the head and neck, not the shoulders and arms. F) The renal arteries branch from the abdominal aorta, not the thoracic aorta.
