THE EXTEEXAL ILIAC AETEEY. 945 the abdominal wall, and anastomose with branches of the deep circumflex iliac, the lumbar, and the lower intercostal arteries, (b) Cutaneous branches, which pass from the front of the inferior epigastric, pierce the rectus abdominis and the anterior part of its sheath, and terminate in the subcutaneous tissues of the anterior abdominal wall, where they anastomose with corresponding branches of the opposite side and with branches of the superficial epigastric artery, (c) The external spermatic in the male (artery of the round ligament of the uterus in the female) is small. It descends through the inguinal canal and anastomoses with the external pudendal and the scrotal branches of the perineal artery, and in the male with the internal spermatic artery also. In the male it accompanies the spermatic funiculus, supplying its coverings, including the cremaster. In Psoas major muscle Ureter.

Sometimes when the obturator branch of the hypogastric artery is absent, the pubic branch of the inferior epigastric artery enlarges and becomes the obturator artery, which descends to the obturator foramen either on the lateral or the medial side of the femoral ring. In the latter case the artery may be injured in the operation for the relief of a strangulated femoral hernia. (2) Arteria Circumflexa Ilium Profunda.—The deep circumflex iliac artery (Figs. 774 and 777) springs from the lateral side of the external iliac artery, usually a little below the interior epigastric, and immediately above the inguinal ligament. It runs laterally and upwards to the anterior superior spine of the ilium. In this part of its course it lies just above the lower border of the inguinal ligament, and is enclosed in a fibrous canal formed by the union of the transversalis and iliac 61
