| lateral circumflex femoral artery | <anatomy, artery> Origin, profunda femoris; distribution, hip joint, thigh muscles; anastomoses, medial circumflex femoral, inferior gluteal, superior gluteal. Synonym: arteria circumflexa femoris lateralis, lateral circumflex artery of thigh, lateral femoral circumflex artery. (05 Mar 2000) |

| lateral circumflex femoral veins | The veins that accompany the lateral circumflex femoral artery, usually terminating in the femoral vein. Synonym: venae circumflexae femoris laterales. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral femoral circumflex artery | <anatomy, artery> Origin, profunda femoris; distribution, hip joint, thigh muscles; anastomoses, medial circumflex femoral, inferior gluteal, superior gluteal. Synonym: arteria circumflexa femoris lateralis, lateral circumflex artery of thigh, lateral femoral circumflex artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior inferior iliac spine | Spine on the anterior border of the ilium between the anterior superior iliac spine and the acetabulum; site of origin for the direct head of the rectus femoris muscle. Synonym: spina iliaca anterior inferior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior superior iliac spine | The anterior extremity of the iliac crest, which provides attachment for the inguinal ligament and the sartorius muscle. Synonym: spina iliaca anterior superior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| 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) |
| 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) |
