What is "internal iliac artery"?
The internal iliac artery, also known as the hypogastric artery, is a crucial blood vessel in the human body that supplies oxygenated blood to the pelvic region, including the pelvic organs, gluteal muscles, and the medial thigh. It plays a vital role in nourishing and maintaining the proper functioning of reproductive organs, bladder, rectum, and various muscles in the pelvic area. The internal iliac artery branches out extensively, forming a complex network of blood vessels that contribute to the intricate circulatory system within the pelvis.
