| pubic branch of inferior epigastric artery | <anatomy, artery> Branch arising from the inferior epigastric artery medial to the deep inguinal ring; runs medial to femoral ring onto posterior pubis; anastomosis, pubic branch of obturator artery. This anastomosis is frequently large, referred to as an "accessory obturator artery." In 20-30%, this anastomosis replaces the obturator artery, as an "aberrant" or "replaced" obturator artery. Synonym: ramus pubicus arteriae epigastricae inferioris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superficial epigastric artery | <anatomy, artery> Origin, femoral; distribution, inguinal nodes and integument of lower abdomen; anastomoses, inferior epigastric, superficial circumflex iliac and external pudendal. Synonym: arteria epigastrica superficialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superficial epigastric vein | <anatomy, vein> Drains the lower and medial part of the anterior abdominal wall and empties into the great saphenous vein. Synonym: vena epigastrica superficialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superior epigastric artery | <anatomy, artery> Origin, the medial terminal branch of internal thoracic; distribution, abdominal muscles and integument, falciform ligament; anastomoses, inferior epigastric. Synonym: arteria epigastrica superior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superior epigastric veins | The venae comitantes of the artery of the same name, tributaries of the internal thoracic vein. Synonym: venae epigastricae superiores. (05 Mar 2000) |
| deep epigastric artery | <anatomy, artery> Origin, external iliac; branches, cremasteric, muscular and pubic; anastomoses, superior epigastric, obturator. With overlying peritoneum, forms lateral umbilical ligament and forms a basis for distinguishing types of inguinal herniae: direct hernias pass medial to the artery; indirect hernias pass laterally. Synonym: arteria epigastrica inferior, deep epigastric artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| deep epigastric vein | <anatomy, vein> Corresponds to the artery of the same name and empties into the external iliac vein just proximal to the inguinal ligament. Synonym: vena epigastrica inferior, deep epigastric vein. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior epigastric artery | <anatomy, artery> Origin, external iliac; branches, cremasteric, muscular and pubic; anastomoses, superior epigastric, obturator. With overlying peritoneum, forms lateral umbilical ligament and forms a basis for distinguishing types of inguinal herniae: direct hernias pass medial to the artery; indirect hernias pass laterally. Synonym: arteria epigastrica inferior, deep epigastric artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior epigastric lymph nodes | Three or four nodes placed along the inferior epigastric vessels; they receive afferents from the lower abdominal wall and empty into the external iliac nodes. Synonym: nodi lymphatici epigastrici inferiores. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior epigastric vein | <anatomy, vein> Corresponds to the artery of the same name and empties into the external iliac vein just proximal to the inguinal ligament. Synonym: vena epigastrica inferior, deep epigastric vein. (05 Mar 2000) |
