Detailed explanation-2: -The inferior vesical artery is the major blood supply for the prostate, and it also receives blood supply from the middle rectal and internal pudendal arteries. Veins around the prostate form the prostatic plexus which drains into internal iliac veins.

Detailed explanation-3: -The seminal vesicles receive their arterial supply in a way that is similar to that of the prostate gland. The primary arterial supply is from the inferior vesical, internal pudendal, and middle rectal arteries. These 3 primary sources all arise from the anterior division of the internal iliac artery.

Detailed explanation-4: -The superior vesical artery is a branch of the anterior division of the internal iliac artery. It supplies part of the bladder, ureter, seminal vesicle and ductus deferens.
