the abdominal aorta divides to form the "common iliac arteries" in the lower abdomen, and these vessels supply blood to the pelvic organs, gluteal region, and legs. each common iliac artery descends a short distance and divides into an internal and an external branch. the external iliac artery provides the main blood supply to the legs. it passes down along the brim of the pelvis and gives off two large branches - the "inferior epigastric artery" and a "deep circumflex artery." these vessels supply blood to the muscles and skin in the lower abdominal wall. the external iliac artery passes beneath the inguinal ligament in the lower part of the abdomen and becomes the femoral artery.
