Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The iliac arteries are peripheral arteries. Peripheral means they provide blood to parts of the body farther away from the heart.
Detailed explanation-2: -The right and left external iliac arteries extend from the mid-pelvis to the inguinal ligament as the distal continuation of the common iliac arteries.
