On this video, we will quickly talk about the main a​rteries of the lower limb.

The divisions of the common iliac arteries are responsible for delivering oxygenated blood to the lower extremities - in other words, the leg and the foot. The common iliac artery bifurcates to form the external and internal iliac arteries, halfway between the first and second anterior sacral foramina.

Just lateral to the level of the second anterior, the internal iliac artery gives off the iliolumbar artery and the superior gluteal artery.

The iliolumbar artery travels superiorly before bifurcating into its lumbar and iliac branches at the level of the iliosacral joint. The iliac artery then courses along the inner margin of the iliac crest, after which, it exits the false pelvis superior to the lateral portion of the inguinal ligament. The neck of the femur is vascularised by anastomosing branches from the profunda femoris artery, which is also known as the deep femoral artery.

Poor images. Lack of clarity. This is below the usual par of kenhub videos. Kindly highlight the specific arteries and their branches when it is being mentioned. When a specific branch is mentioned, that should be highlighted instead of the whole artery and it's branches. This really was like a regular anatomy class at the college
