Superficial external pudendal artery
The superficial external pudendal artery is one of the three pudendal arteries. It arises from the medial side of the femoral artery, close to the superficial epigastric artery and superficial iliac circumflex artery.After piercing the femoral sheath and fascia cribrosa, it courses medialward, across the spermatic cord, to be distributed to the integument on the lower part of the abdomen, the penis and scrotum in the male, and the labium majus in the female, anastomosing with branches of the internal pudendal artery.
It crosses superficial to the inguinal ligament.Additional images
