The inferior gluteal artery (sciatic artery) is a terminal branch of the anterior trunk of the internal iliac artery. It exits the pelvis through the greater sciatic foramen. It is distributed chiefly to the buttock and the back of the thigh. [citation needed]
The accompanying artery of ischiadic nerve is a long, slender artery in the thigh. It branches of the inferior gluteal artery. It accompanies the sciatic nerve for a short distance. [1] It then penetrates it, and runs in its substance to the lower part of the thigh.
The inferior gluteal nerve leaves the pelvis through the greater sciatic foramen, passing inferior to the piriformis muscle. [5] It then divides into muscular branches to supply the gluteus maximus that pass posteriorly into the deep surface of the gluteus maximus muscle. [6] The inferior gluteal nerve is superficial to the sciatic nerve.
The cerebral arteries describe three main pairs of arteries and their branches, which perfuse the cerebrum of the brain. The three main arteries are the: Anterior cerebral artery (ACA), which supplies blood to the medial portion of the brain, including the superior parts of the frontal and anterior parietal lobes [1] Middle cerebral artery (MCA ...
Inferior gluteal artery [2]-greater sciatic foramen (inferior to piriformis muscle) and gluteus maximus muscle [2] Posterior Parietal: Iliolumbar artery [2] lumbar and iliac branches: psoas major muscle, quadratus lumborum muscle, iliacus muscle [citation needed] Lateral sacral artery [2] superior and inferior branches: anterior sacral foramina ...
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.
In front of it are the internal iliac artery, internal iliac vein, the ureter, and the sigmoid colon. The superior gluteal artery and vein run between the lumbosacral trunk and the first sacral nerve, and the inferior gluteal artery and vein between the second and third sacral nerves.
The superficial branch passes over the piriformis muscle. [2] It enters the deep surface of the gluteus maximus muscle, and divides into numerous branches. [2] Some branches supply the muscle and anastomose with the inferior gluteal artery, while others perforate its tendinous origin, and supply the integument covering the posterior surface of the sacrum, anastomosing with the posterior ...
