2-11. VASCULAR, NERVE, AND LYMPHATIC SUPPLY

 

a. The blood supply of the female pelvis is derived from the internal iliac branches of the common iliac arteries and is supplemented by the ovarian and median sacral arteries, which are branches of the aorta.

 

b. The nerve supply of the female pelvis comes from the autonomic nerves, which enter the pelvis in the superior hypogastric plexus (presacral nerve).

 

c. The lymphatics of the female pelvis either follow the course of the vessels to the iliac and preaortic nodes or empty into the inguinal glands.
