The blood is then transported through the thigh via the great saphenous vein to the femoral vein; from there, it moves through the body to the heart and lungs, where the carbon dioxide in the blood is replaced with oxygen; the freshly oxygenated blood then returns through the legs via the corresponding arteries, which move in paths parallel to the veins.
