It passes down along the brim of the pelvis and gives off two large branches - the "inferior epigastric artery" and a "deep circumflex artery." These vessels supply blood to the muscles and skin in the lower abdominal wall. The external iliac artery passes beneath the inguinal ligament in the lower part of the abdomen and becomes the femoral ...
The femoral artery represents the continuation of the external iliac artery beyond the inguinal ligament underneath which the vessel passes [2] to enter the thigh. [3] The vessel passes under the inguinal ligament just medial of the midpoint of this ligament, [ 2 ] midway between the anterior superior iliac spine and the symphysis pubis (mid ...

Proximal to the confluence with the deep femoral vein, and the joining of the great saphenous vein, the femoral vein is widely known as the common femoral vein. [3] As the common femoral vein leaves the inguinal ligament region it becomes the external iliac vein . [ 4 ]
This triangle contains external iliac artery and vein, the deep circumflex iliac vein, the genital branch of genitofemoral nerve and hidden by fascia, the femoral nerve. It bears significance in laparoscopic repair of groin hernia. Surgical staples are avoided here. Similarly, the Triangle of Pain is an important landmark in laproscopic surgery.
A continuation of the femoral vein, [1] the external iliac vein starts at the level of the inguinal ligament. [2] It runs beside its corresponding artery and along the brim of the lesser pelvis to unite with the internal iliac vein anterior to the sacroiliac joint where it forms the common iliac vein.
The superficial iliac circumflex artery (or superficial circumflex iliac), the smallest of the cutaneous branches of the femoral artery, arises close to the superficial epigastric artery, and, piercing the fascia lata, runs lateralward, parallel with the inguinal ligament, as far as the crest of the ilium.
The external iliac artery becomes the femoral artery when it passes deep to the inguinal ligament, at the mid-inguinal point. As such, the point is along the superior boundary of the femoral triangle .
