Common Iliac Vein
Vena iliaca communis is the Latin pronunciation for Common Iliac Veins. The left and right Common Iliac Veins come into the Abdomen at the base of Fifth Lumbar Vertebra (vertebra between rib cage and Pelvis), fuse together to form Inferior Vena Cava (carrier of deoxygenated blood from lower half of body to the right atrium of heart). Common iliac veins function to drain blood from the Pelvis and Lower limbs. Common Iliac Veins are accompanied by their side with Common Iliac Arteries. Common Iliac Veins are formed by the fusion of External Iliac Veins and Internal Iliac Veins.

EXTERNAL ILIAC VEINS
These are the large veins connecting Femoral Veins to Common iliac Veins. They originate from the inferior margin of Inguinal Ligaments (band of ligaments running from Pubic Tubercle to Anterior Superior Iliac Spine) and end by joining with Internal Iliac Veins forming Common Iliac Veins.
External Iliac Veins are accompanied with External Iliac Arteries.
Some of its other significant attributes are the drainage of Inferior Epigastric Veins (carries deoxygenated blood and drain into thoracic vein).
INTERNAL ILIAC VEINS
Internal Iliac Vein also known as Hypogastric Vein starts near the upper region of Sciatic Foramen (major opening of Human Pelvis) passing slightly tilted and behind Internal Iliac Artery at brim of Pelvis (edge of planar surface between Pelvic and Abdominal Cavity). There it then joins with External Iliac Vein to form Common Iliac Vein.
