Principal Arteries of Anterolateral Abdominal Wall Nerve Origin Course Distribution Musculophrenic Internal thoracic artery Descends along costal margin Abdominal wall of hypochondriac region, anterolateral, diaphragm Descends in rectus sheath deep to rectus abdominis Superior rectus abdominis and superior part of anterolateral abdominal wall Abdominal aorta Arteries continue beyond ribs to descend in abdominal wall between internal oblique and transversus abdominis Abdominal wall, lateral region External iliac artery Runs superiorly and enters rectus sheath; runs deep to rectus abdominis Inferior rectus abdominis and medial part of anterolateral abdominal wall Runs on deep aspect of anterior abdominal wall, parallel to inguinal ligament Iliacus muscle and inferior part of anterolateral abdominal wall Runs in superficial fascia along inguinal ligament Superficial abdominal wall of inguinal region and adjacent anterior thigh Superior epigastric 10th and 11th posterior intercostal Subcostal Inferior epigastric Deep circumflex iliac Superficial circumflex iliac Femoral artery Superficial epigastric Runs in superficial fascia toward umbilicus Subcutaneous tissue and skin over pubic and inferior umbilical region
