Verified step by step guidance

Understand the anatomy of the iliac arteries: The common iliac arteries are major blood vessels that originate from the abdominal aorta and supply blood to the lower limbs and pelvis.

Learn the subdivisions of the common iliac arteries: The common iliac arteries divide into two branches—internal iliac arteries and external iliac arteries.

Internal iliac arteries: These arteries primarily supply blood to the pelvic organs, gluteal region, and medial thigh.

External iliac arteries: These arteries continue into the lower limbs, eventually becoming the femoral arteries as they pass under the inguinal ligament.

Review the incorrect options: The anterior and posterior tibial arteries, femoral and popliteal arteries, and dorsalis pedis and plantar arteries are further downstream in the arterial pathway and are not immediate branches of the iliac arteries.
