Abstract

The abdominal aorta most commonly divides at the level of the fourth lumbar vertebra into the two common iliac arteries. The common iliac artery then divides into the external iliac, internal iliac, and hypogastric arteries. The external iliac artery supplies the lower extremity, whereas the hypogastric artery supplies the buttock, viscera of the pelvis, the medial thigh, as well as either the uterus and vagina or the testicles and penis.
