Internal Pudendal Artery
The Internal Pudendal Artery is a major blood vessel that supplies blood to the pelvic region, particularly the external genitalia and perineum. It branches off from the Internal Iliac Artery and travels through the greater sciatic foramen before entering the perineum.
This artery is crucial for the vascularization of structures such as the clitoris, penis, and urethra. It also gives rise to several branches, including the perineal artery and the dorsal artery of the penis, which play important roles in sexual function and overall pelvic health.
