Artery Iliac Common

Common iliac artery:

Iliac are two arteries that emerge from the abdominal cavity in the region of the iliac crest and with their distal end lie slightly above the anterior superior iliac spine. These arteries are considered together regardless of the place of their exit and the topography of the distal sections. They have a number of common features. Both arteries are directed downwards, somewhat anteriorly and somewhat medially. Their common terminal section is divided into internal and common iliac arteries. On their way, they pass between the internal oblique and transverse abdominal muscles. Their mouth is located at the entrances of the lumbar muscles or at the level of the upper edge of the symphysis and exits through it to the outside. Topographic anatomy explains the abundance of certain variations in the position and condition of the iliac arteries, and differences in the formation of their branches. The most significant variations are the course of the right and left iliac arteries and the position of its branches along the entire path to the place of exit from the pelvis. The arteries are bifurcated over a long distance, and a significant part of these branches are
