Branches
Small branches are given to the ureter and the uterine tube, and one passes on to the side of the uterus, and unites with the uterine artery.
Other offsets are continued on the round ligament of the uterus, through the inguinal canal, to the integument of the labium majus and groin.
It commonly anastomoses (connects with) the uterine artery.
