pelvis (pl. pelvises or pelves) is the bony structure located at the base of the spine (properly known as the caudal end). The pelvis incorporates the socket portion of the hip joint for each leg (in bipeds) or hind leg (in quadrupeds).

The common iliac arteries are two large arteries, about 4cm long in adults but more than a centimetre in diameter, that originate from the aortic bifurcation and terminate when bifurcating into the external iliac artery and internal iliac artery.

The aorta (generally pronounced [eɪˈɔːtə] or "ay-orta") is the largest artery in the human body, originating from the left ventricle of the heart and bringing oxygenated blood to all parts of the body in the systemic circulation.

The external iliac artery is a large artery in the pelvic region that carries blood to the lower limb.

The external iliac artery is a paired artery, meaning there is one on each side of the body: a right external iliac artery and left external iliac artery.

The inguinal ligament is a band running from the pubic tubercle to the anterior superior iliac spine. Its anatomy is very important for operating on hernia patients.

It forms the base of the inguinal canal which is the place from where the inguinal hernia develops.

The internal iliac artery (formerly known as the hypogastric artery) is the main artery of the pelvis.

In human anatomy, iliac vein refers to several anatomical structures located in the pelvis:

• External iliac vein - terminates at the common iliac vein, drains the femoral vein.
• Internal iliac vein - terminates at the common iliac vein, drains pelvic organs and perineum.
