Iliac Artery Anatomy Image
The common iliac arteries originate from the abdominal aorta. The internal iliac artery supplies the peritoneum, gluteal region and the walls and viscera of the pelvis. This article will discuss the anatomical course, anatomical relations and branches of the internal iliac artery as well its differences in the fetus.
One example is a common iliac artery aneurysm, which causes ballooning of the artery and can lead to rupture. The common iliac arteries are a link between the aorta and the arteries of the pelvis and lower limbs. There are two common iliac arteries that split off from the abdominal aorta (which moves blood from the heart).
