branches of internal iliac artery (mnemonic)
A useful mnemonic to remember the branches of the internal iliac artery is:
- I Love Going Places In My Very Own Underwear!
Mnemonic
- I: iliolumbar artery
- L: lateral sacral artery
- G: gluteal (superior and inferior) arteries
- P: (internal) pudendal artery
- I: inferior vesical (vaginal in females) artery, and superior vesical artery
- M: middle rectal artery
- V: vaginal artery (females only)
- O: obturator artery
- U: umbilical artery and uterine artery (females only)
The first three branches in the mnemonic (iliolumbar, lateral sacral and superior gluteal) are branches of the posterior division of the internal iliac artery, the remaining branches are of the anterior division.
