Did you know that...

Did you know that: The inferior rectal arteries are branches of the internal pudendal artery which is a brach of the anterior trunk of the internal iliac artery which is a branch of the common iliac artery which is a terminal branch of the abdominal aorta?

Unfortunately, the middle rectal arteries are not a branch of the internal pudendal artery. The middle rectal arteries are a branch of the internal iliac artery.

Likewise, the superior rectal arteries is not a branch of the peudendal artery or the internal iliac artery, instead the superior rectal artery is a branch of the inferior mesenteric artery which is one of the 3 unpaird branches of the abdominal aorta.

If any of you have the ability to remember this, please contact me so we can discuss options concerning swaping identities before my Anatomy final exam this Thursday at 12:30. Just kidding. sort-of.
