Origin of the uterine artery in human fetuses.
Study was performed in 64 fetuses aged 9-40 weeks. In most of investigated fetuses (42 on the right side and 40 on the left side) the uterine artery arose separately from the internal iliac artery. It was also found that this artery originated as a common trunk with the pudendal, gluteal, middle rectal, and umbilical arteries.
