    AETEEIES—ABNOEMALITY OF THE OBTUEATOU AETEEY. On tlie left side of a Subject, tbe Obturator Artery arises by two roots, one from tbe internal and the other from the external iliac. Onthe right side, the Obturator arises fi?om the external iliac> and passes down to the thyroid foramen > it gives ofE a large vesical branch, which passes upwards and backwaids and takes the dis - tribution of the superior vesical artery. An artery comes from the anterior division of the internal iliac, on the right side ; it soon divides into two branches of which the upper passes along the ileo-pectineal line, and the other along the waU of the pelvic cavity. Both arteries are tortuous. At first they diverge, and near the anterior part of pelvis they approach one another and unite at a distance of one-eighth of an inch from the Obturator Artery, to form a single trunk, which joins the latter. The sup- erior vesical on the left, and the inferior vesical on both sides, are normal. The Obturator Artery has been seen to arise from the com* mon iliac, from the upper branch of the hypogastric, and from (1.) Henle’s Gefiisslehre. (2.) Eedfern.
