The iliac bone is one of the three bones that make up the os coxae (hip bone) in the human pelvis. It is located on each side of the pelvis and is commonly known as the "hip bone." The iliac bone helps support the weight of the body and serves as an attachment point for various muscles.
The ilium is a large, blade-shaped bone in the pelvis. "Iliac" typically refers to structures or conditions related to the ilium or iliac bone, such as the iliac crest or iliac artery. So, they are related anatomical terms, with ilium being the bone itself and iliac referring to aspects of the ilium bone.
The external iliac vein drains into the common iliac vein as it enters the pelvis.

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.
