Video Summary
There are a few different arteries and veins that serve and drain the pelvic region. The main artery is the iliac artery, which branches off into the internal iliac artery and the external iliac artery. The internal iliac artery supplies blood to the pelvic organs, while the external iliac artery supplies blood to the lower extremities.
The veins of the pelvis include the internal iliac veins, which unite with the external iliac veins to form two common iliac veins, one on the right, and the other one on the left. The two common iliac veins unite to form the inferior vena cava, which drains into the right atrium of the heart.
