Umbilical artery (in fetus),b. Obturator artery,c. Vaginal artery,d. Superior &inferior vesical artery,e. Uterine artery,f. Middle rectal artery,g. Internal pudendal artery,h. Inferior gluteal artery.The posterior division gives rise to the superior gluteal, iliolumbar, and lateral sacral arteries.
