In human anatomy, iliac artery refers to several anatomical structures located in the pelvis:
- Common iliac artery - forms at terminus of the aorta. Human anatomy, which with physiology and biochemistry is a complementary basic medical science is primarily the scientific study of the morphology of the adult Human body The pelvis (pl pelvises or pelves) or pelvic girdle is the irregular bony structure located at the base of the spine (properly known The common iliac arteries are two large arteries, about 4cm long in adults but more than a centimetre in diameter that originate from the Aortic bifurcation and terminate
- External iliac artery - forms when the common iliac artery bifurcates, continues as the femoral artery at the inguinal ligament. The external iliac Artery is a large artery in the pelvic region that carries blood to the Lower limb. The femoral artery is a large Artery in the muscles of the Thigh. The inguinal (Poupart's ligament is a band running from the Pubic tubercle to the Anterior superior iliac spine.
- Internal iliac artery - forms when the common iliac artery bifurcates, supplies the perineum and sexual organs. The internal iliac artery (formerly known as the hypogastric artery) is the main Artery of the Pelvis. In Human anatomy, the perineum is generally defined as the surface region in both males and females between the Pubic symphysis and the Coccyx.
