VI. The Arteries. 5b. 2. The External Iliac Artery. Gray, Henry. 1918. Anatomy of the Human Body. |
 | | In front and medially, the artery is in relation with the peritoneum, subperitoneal areolar tissue, the termination of the ileum and frequently the vermiform process on the right side, and the sigmoid colon on the left, and a thin layer of fascia, derived from the iliac fascia, which surrounds the artery and vein. |
 | | As the inferior epigastric artery passes obliquely upward from its origin it lies along the lower and medial margins of the abdominal inguinal ring, and behind the commencement of the spermatic cord. |
 | | It frequently springs from the external iliac, by a common trunk with the obturator. |
