	VI. The Arteries. 5b. The Common Iliac Arteries. Gray, Henry. 1918. Anatomy of the Human Body.
		The left common iliac artery is in relation, in front, with the peritoneum, the small intestines, branches of the sympathetic nerves, and the superior hemorrhoidal artery; and is crossed at its point of bifurcation by the ureter.
		It distributes branches to the Obturator externus, Pectineus, Adductores, and Gracilis, and anastomoses with the posterior branch and with the medial femoral circumflex artery.
		The arteries of the gluteal and posterior femoral regions.

		The common iliac artery divides into the internal and external iliac arteries and supplies the pelvis and lower extremities.
		The iliac crest marks the upper ridge of the broad ala, or wings, of the ilium.
		It is considered a single muscle group that begins deep in the back of the abdomen where the iliacus orignates from the iliac fossa and the psoas major originates from the bodies of the vertebrae and invertebral disks from the twelfth thoracic to the fifth lumbar and the transverse processes of the lumbar vertebrae.

		The popliteal artery crosses the knee joint deep between the femoral condyles and divides posterior to the tibia in the upper calf to form the three distal arteries: the anterior tibial (AT), the posterior tibial (PT) and the peroneal.
		The posterior tibial artery runs deep in the posterior compartment of the calf, entering the foot posterior to the medial malleolus where it is easily palpable half way between the medial malleolus and the calcaneus.
		Arterial bypass procedures are major operations that carry significant risks, particularly as the patients are usually elderly and have co-existing cardiorespiratory disease.

		Less commonly, arteries are gradually narrowed by an abnormal growth of muscle in the artery's wall (fibromuscular dysplasia) or pressure from an expanding mass, such as a tumor or fluid-filled sac (cyst), outside the artery.
		It commonly develops in the arteries of the legs, including the main arteries of the thighs (femoral arteries), of the knees (popliteal arteries), and of the calves (tibial and peroneal arteries).
		Hepatic and Splenic Arteries: Blockage of the hepatic artery, which supplies the liver, or the splenic artery, which supplies the spleen, is usually not as dangerous as blockage of the major arteries that supply the intestine.

		An aneurysm is a permanent localized ballooning (dilatation) of an artery having at least a 50% increase in diameter compared to the expected normal diameter of the artery in question.
		The aorta is the main artery in the body that runs from the heart through the chest and into the abdomen.
		This artery gives off blood vessels to the arms, brain, spinal cord, large and small intestines and kidneys before it splits into two vessels (the common iliac arteries), each of which supply blood to the legs.

		Just to the left side of the body of the fourth lumbar vertebra, the abdominal aorta divides into two common iliac arteries.
		These again divide as they descend from the end of the aorta and each divides, between the last lumbar vertebra and the sacrum, into the external iliac artery, which supplies blood to much of the lower limbs, and the internal iliac artery, which supplies the viscera and the walls of the pelvis.
