What is the artery that branches off the abdominal aorta between the Common Iliac Arteries
Median Sacral A.
What are the arteries the Common Iliac Arteries split into?
External Iliac A.
Internal Iliac A.
What happens to the External Iliac artery once is passes under the Inguinal Ligament?
It becomes the Femoral A.
What does the Internal Iliac A. split into?
The Anterior Division of the Internal Iliac A.
The Posterior Division of the Internal Iliac A.
What is the first branch off the Anterior Division of the Internal Iliac A., what branhces come off it, and what structures does it supply?
The first branch off the Anterior Division of the Internal Iliac A. is the Umbilical A.
Superior Vesical Arteries branch off the Umbilical A., providing blood to the bladder.
What is the second branch off of the Anterior Division of the Internal Iliac A. and what structures does it supply?
The second branch off the Anterior Division of the Internal Iliac A. is the Obturator A.
It supplies the muscles of the medial thigh.
What is the third branch off of the Anterior Division of the Internal Iliac A., what branches does it form into, and what structures does it supply IN WOMEN?
The third branch off of the Anterior Division of the Internal Iliac A. is the Uterine A.
Branching off the Uterine A. is:
- Vaginal Branch of the Uterine A.
- Tubal Branch of the uterine A.
- Ovarian Branch of the Uterine A.
Supplies blood to the uterus, uterine tubes, ovaries, and vagina
What is the fourth branch off the Anterior Division of the Internal Iliac A., and what structures does it supply IN WOMEN?
The fourth branch of the Anterior Division of the Internal Iliac A. is the Vaginal A.
It supplies the vagina
What is the third branch off the Anterior Division of the Internal Iliac A. and what structures does it supply IN MEN?
The third branch of the Anterior Division of the Internal Iliac A. is the Inferior Vesical A.
It forms into the following branches:
- Artery to the Ductus Deferens (travels through the inguinal canal as part of the spermatic cord)
- Prostatic Branch of the Inferior Vesical A.
It supplies posterior aspect of the bladder, the prostate gland, and the Ductus Deferens
What is the fifth branch off the Anterior Division of the Internal Iliac A. and what structures does it supply?
The fifth branch off the Anterior Division of the Internal Iliac A. is the Middle Rectal A.
It suppies blood to the rectum
Where does the Superior Rectal A. come from?
Inferior Mesenteric A.
What are the two terminal branches of the Anterior Division of the Internal Iliac A.?
Inferior Gluteal A.
Internal Pudendal A.
Describe the path taken by the Internal Pudendal A.
Branches off the Anterior Division of the Internal Iliac A.
Travels through the Greater Sciatic Foramen, wraps around the Sacrospinous Ligament, travels back through the Lesser Sciatic Foramen
Then it travels through the Pudendal Canal (which is made of obturator fascia)
