The common iliac artery, and all of its branches, exist as paired structures (that is to say, there is one on the left side and one on the right). The distribution of the common iliac artery is basically the pelvis and lower limb (as the femoral artery) on the corresponding side.
The common iliac lymph nodes, four to six in number, are grouped behind and on the sides of the common iliac artery, one or two being placed below the bifurcation of the aorta, in front of the fifth lumbar vertebra. They drain chiefly the hypogastric and external iliac glands, and their efferents pass to the lateral aortic glands.
In human anatomy, the iliac arteries are three arteries located in the region of the ilium in the pelvis: . Common iliac artery – forms at terminus of the aorta; External iliac artery – forms where the common iliac artery bifurcates, continues as the femoral artery at the inguinal ligament
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.
Goes upward to anastomose with superior epigastric artery (a branch of internal thoracic artery). Deep circumflex iliac artery: Goes laterally, travelling along the iliac crest of the pelvic bone. Femoral artery [3] Terminal branch. When the external iliac artery passes posterior to the inguinal ligament, its name changes to femoral artery.

Schema of arteries of the thigh, including femoral artery and branches. Common femoral artery. The superficial circumflex iliac artery [14] is a small branch that runs up to the region of the anterior superior iliac spine. The superficial epigastric artery [14] is a small branch that crosses the inguinal ligament and runs to the region of the ...
The left common iliac vein occasionally travels upwards to the left of the aorta to the level of the kidney, where it receives the left renal vein and crosses in front of the aorta to join the inferior vena cava. [4] The right common iliac vein is virtually vertical and lies behind and then lateral to its artery. Each common iliac vein receives ...
