    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iliac_crest

    A fracture of the left iliac wing. The iliac crest has a large amount of red bone marrow, and thus it is the site of bone marrow harvests (from both sides) to collect the stem cells used in bone marrow transplantation. The iliac crest is also considered the best donor site for bone grafting when a large quantity of bone is needed. For example ...

    The iliac fossa is bounded above by the iliac crest, and below by the arcuate line. It is bordered in front and behind by the anterior and posterior borders of the ilium. The iliac fossa gives origin to the iliacus muscle. [1] The obturator nerve passes around the iliac fossa. [2] It is perforated at its inner part by a nutrient canal.

    It is thinner at the center than at the extremities, and ends in the anterior and posterior superior iliac spines. The surface of the crest is broad, and divided into external and internal lips, and an intermediate line. About 5 cm behind the anterior superior iliac spine there is a prominent tubercle on the outer lip.

  7. Aortic bifurcation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aortic_bifurcation

    The aortic bifurcation is the point at which the abdominal aorta bifurcates (forks) into the left and right common iliac arteries. The aortic bifurcation is usually seen at the level of L4, [1] just above the junction of the left and right common iliac veins. The right common iliac artery passes in front of the left common iliac vein.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_iliac_artery

    The internal iliac artery supplies the walls and viscera of the pelvis, the buttock, the reproductive organs, and the medial compartment of the thigh. The vesicular branches of the internal iliac arteries supply the bladder. [1] It is a short, thick vessel, smaller than the external iliac artery, and about 3 to 4 cm in length.

  9. Iliac tuberosity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iliac_tuberosity

    The iliac tuberosity is part of the anatomy of the ilium portion of the hip bone. Behind the iliac fossa is a rough surface, divided into two portions, an anterior and a posterior. [1] The posterior portion, the iliac tuberosity, is elevated and rough, for the attachment of the posterior sacroiliac ligaments and for the origins of the ...
