| common iliac artery | <anatomy, artery> One of the two terminal branches of the abdominal aorta; opposite the lumbosacral joint, it bifurcates to form the internal iliac and the external iliac. Synonym: arteria iliaca communis. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| common iliac lymph nodes | Nodes located in association with the common iliac vein; they are subdivided into five groups: intermediate (anterior) common iliac lymph nodes, between the common iliac artery and vein; lateral common iliac lymph nodes lateral to the vein; medial common iliac lymph nodes, medial to the vein; promontory common iliac lymph nodes at the sacral promontory; and subaortic common iliac lymph nodes, at the bifurcation of the aorta; they all receive afferent vessels from the external and internal iliac nodes and send efferent vessels to the lumbar nodes. Synonym: nodi lymphatici iliaci communes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| posterior inferior iliac spine | Spine at the inferior end of the posterior border of the ilium between the posterior superior iliac spine and the greater sciatic notch; it forms the upper margin of the latter. Synonym: spina iliaca posterior inferior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| posterior superior iliac spine | The posterior extremity of the iliac crest, the uppermost point of attachment of the sacrotuberous and posterior sacroiliac ligaments; a readily apparent dimple occurs in the skin overlying the posterior superior iliac spine which is clinically useful as an indication of the level of the S-2 vertebra, the level of the inferior limit of the subarachnoid space. Synonym: spina iliaca posterior superior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| promontory common iliac lymph nodes | Nodes of the common iliac group located at the promontory of the sacrum. Synonym: nodi lymphatici promontorii, nodi lymphatici iliaci communes promontorii. (05 Mar 2000) |
| subtendinous iliac bursa | <anatomy> The bursa at the attachment of the iliopsoas muscle into the lesser trochanter. Synonym: bursa subtendinea iliaca, iliac bursa. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superficial circumflex iliac artery | <anatomy, artery> Origin, femoral; distribution, inguinal lymph nodes and integument of that region; sartorius, and tensor fasciae latae muscles; anastomoses, deep circumflex iliac. Synonym: arteria circumflexa iliaca superficialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| deep circumflex iliac artery | <anatomy, artery> Origin, external iliac; distribution, muscles and skin of lower abdomen, sartorius and tensor fasciae latae; anastomoses, lumbar, inferior epigastric, superior gluteal, iliolumbar, and superficial circumflex iliac. Synonym: arteria circumflexa iliaca profunda. (05 Mar 2000) |
| iliac | 1. <anatomy> Pertaining to, or in the region of, the ilium, or dorsal bone of the pelvis; as, the iliac artery. 2. Iliac crest, the upper margin of the ilium. 3. Iliac region, a region of the abdomen, on either side of the hypogastric regions, and below the lumbar regions. Alternative forms: ileac. Origin: Cf. F. Iliaque. (11 Mar 1998) |
| iliac aneurysm | An aneurysm of the common, internal, or external iliac arteries. (12 Dec 1998) |
| iliac arteries | Arteries related to the ilium. See: common iliac artery, deep circumflex iliac artery, external iliac artery, internal iliac artery, superficial circumflex iliac artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| iliac artery | <anatomy, artery> Either of two large arteries originating from the abdominal aorta; they supply blood to the pelvis, abdominal wall and legs. (12 Dec 1998) |
| iliac bone | <anatomy> The upper and largest, part of the bony pelvic girdle (iliac wing). The ilium articulates on its inner aspect with the sacrum (sacroiliac joint). (27 Sep 1997) |
| iliac branch of iliolumbar artery | <anatomy, artery> Terminal branch of iliolumbar artery (with lumbar branch) distributed to iliac fossa to supply iliac muscle, ilium, and portions of muscles having attachment to the iliac crest. Synonym: ramus iliacus arteriae iliolumbalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| iliac bursa | <anatomy> The bursa at the attachment of the iliopsoas muscle into the lesser trochanter. Synonym: bursa subtendinea iliaca, iliac bursa. (05 Mar 2000) |
