Blood from the lower extremities, blood flows through the common iliac vein. From the common iliac vein, the blood flows into the inferior vena cava on its way back to the right atrium of the heart.
Common iliac.
The external iliac vein drains into the common iliac vein as it enters the pelvis.
The common iliac vein carries deoxygenated blood from the lower limbs and pelvic region back to the heart. It joins with the external and internal iliac veins to form the inferior vena cava, which delivers the blood to the right atrium of the heart.
common iliac
At the inferior end of the abdominal aorta, it splits into the left and right common iliac arteries, which further branch into internal and external iliac arteries supplying blood to the pelvis and lower limbs.
The function of the common iliac vein is to drain into the inferior vena cava. The common iliac vein forms in the abdomen and is a connection of the internal and external iliac vein.
The distal end of the inferior vena cava is formed by the junction of the paired common iliac veins (Marieb, Elaine- A&P)
