The inferior vesical artery (or inferior vesical artery) is an artery of the pelvis which arises from the internal iliac artery and supplies parts of the urinary bladder as well as other structures of the urinary system and structures of the male reproductive system.
Some sources consider this vessel to be present only in males, and cite the vaginal artery as the homologous structure in females;[1] others consider it to be present in both sexes,[2] with the vessel taking the form of a small branch of a vaginal artery in females.
