The external spermatic or cremasteric artery (A. spermatica externa) is a very small vessel which arises in a variable manner. It springs most often from the external iliac near the origin of the latter, but may come from the circumflex iliac, the aorta between the external and internal iliac, or the latter vessel. It accom- panies the cremaster muscle to the inguinal canal, supplies twigs to that muscle, the tunica vaginalis, and other constituents of the spermatic cord (Fig. 575). 2a. The middle uterine artery (A. uterina media) of the female is regarded as the homologue of the preceding vessel; it has a similar origin, but is a much larger artery. It enters the broad ligament of the uterus, in which it pursues a flexuous course to the posterior part of the horn of the uterus. Its branches are distributed to the uterus and anastomose with those of the other uterine arteries. The Femoral Artery (Figs. 575, 576) The femoral artery is the main arterial trunk of the thigh. It begins at the level of the anterior border of the pubis, from which it is separated by the femoral.
