Synonym: arteria iliaca interna, arteria hypogastrica, hypogastric artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| internal iliac lymph nodes | Nodes that lie along the internal iliac artery and its branches; they receive lymph from the pelvic viscera, the gluteal region, and the deep parts of the perineum, and send efferent vessels to the common iliac nodes. Synonym: nodi lymphatici iliaci interni. (05 Mar 2000) |
| internal iliac vein | <anatomy, vein> Runs from the upper border of the greater sciatic notch to the brim of the pelvis where it joins the external iliac vein to form the common iliac vein; it drains most of the territory supplied by the internal iliac artery. Synonym: vena iliaca interna. (05 Mar 2000) |

| external iliac lymph nodes | Nodes located in association with the external iliac vein; they are subdivided into three groups: intermediate external iliac lymph nodes, between the vein and the external iliac artery; lateral external iliac lymph nodes, and medial external iliac lymph nodes, medial to the vein; they all receive afferent vessels from the inguinal nodes, lower abdominal wall, and pelvic viscera, and send efferent vessels to the common iliac nodes. Synonym: nodi lymphatici iliaci externi. (05 Mar 2000) |
