External Pudendal Artery
The External Pudendal Artery is a blood vessel that supplies blood to the external genitalia and surrounding areas. It branches off from the Femoral Artery, which is a major artery in the thigh. This artery plays a crucial role in providing oxygenated blood to the skin and tissues of the groin and perineum.
In males, the External Pudendal Artery primarily supplies the penis and scrotum, while in females, it supplies the vulva and clitoral region. Proper blood flow through this artery is essential for reproductive health and function, making it an important structure in the vascular system.
