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.
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 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 ...
The inferior gluteal artery, from a branch of the internal iliac artery, pass behind the sciatic nerve and the sacrospinous ligament and is left uncovered in a small opening above the top of the sacrospinous ligament. The coccygeal branch of the inferior gluteal artery passes behind the mid-portion of the sacrospinous ligament and pierces the ...
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.
It passes lateral-ward in between the gluteus medius muscle and the gluteus minimus muscle, [1] [5] accompanied by the deep branch of the superior gluteal artery. It divides into a superior branch and an inferior branch. [5] [1] The inferior branch continues to pass between the two muscles [5] to end in the tensor fasciae latae muscle. [1]

The inferior gluteal veins are venae comitantes of the inferior gluteal artery. They commence in the superior/proximal posterior thigh. They enter the pelvis through the lower part of the greater sciatic foramen. They converge to form a single vessel before emptying into the distal portion of the internal iliac vein. [1]
