What is "external iliac artery"?
The external iliac artery is one of the main arteries in the human body, responsible for delivering oxygenated blood to the lower extremities. It originates from the common iliac artery and continues down the pelvis before transitioning into the femoral artery at the inguinal ligament. Along its course, the external iliac artery gives off branches that supply blood to various structures, including the pelvic organs and muscles of the lower abdomen. Its proper functioning is essential for maintaining healthy blood circulation and supporting normal leg function.
