It passes down along the brim of the pelvis and gives off two large branches - the "inferior epigastric artery" and a "deep circumflex artery." These vessels supply blood to the muscles and skin in the lower abdominal wall. The external iliac artery passes beneath the inguinal ligament in the lower part of the abdomen and becomes the femoral ...
The femoral artery represents the continuation of the external iliac artery beyond the inguinal ligament underneath which the vessel passes [2] to enter the thigh. [3] The vessel passes under the inguinal ligament just medial of the midpoint of this ligament, [ 2 ] midway between the anterior superior iliac spine and the symphysis pubis (mid ...
This triangle contains external iliac artery and vein, the deep circumflex iliac vein, the genital branch of genitofemoral nerve and hidden by fascia, the femoral nerve. It bears significance in laparoscopic repair of groin hernia. Surgical staples are avoided here. Similarly, the Triangle of Pain is an important landmark in laproscopic surgery.
In human anatomy, the iliac arteries are three arteries located in the region of the ilium in the pelvis: . Common iliac artery – forms at terminus of the aorta; External iliac artery – forms where the common iliac artery bifurcates, continues as the femoral artery at the inguinal ligament

The cruciate anastomosis is a circulatory anastomosis in the upper thigh [1] formed by the inferior gluteal artery, the lateral and medial circumflex femoral arteries, the first perforating artery of the deep femoral artery, [2] [1] and the anastomotic branch of the posterior branch of the obturator artery.
The great saphenous vein (a superficial vein), and the deep femoral vein drain into the femoral vein in the femoral triangle when it becomes known as the common femoral vein. It ends at the inferior margin of the inguinal ligament where it becomes the external iliac vein. [1] Its major tributaries are the deep femoral vein, and the great ...
The obturator artery is a branch of the internal iliac artery that passes antero-inferiorly (forwards and downwards) on the lateral wall of the pelvis, to the upper part of the obturator foramen, and, escaping from the pelvic cavity through the obturator canal, it divides into an anterior branch and a posterior branch.
