Are distributed to the organs of generation. They are, 1. The internal Pudic, Arteria Pudica, A. pudenda communis, (F.) Artere honteuse interne, A. Sons-pubienne (Ch.), Genital Artery. It is furnished by the hypogastric, and divides into two branches; the one- the inferior or perineal- which gives off the inferior hemorrhoidal and the artery of the septum; the other- the superior, (F.) Ischiopenienne- which furnishes the transverse perineal artery, and divides into two branches; the artery of the corpus covernosum, and the dorsalis penis. This latter, in the female, has the name Dorsalis Clitoridis. 2. The external Pudic Arteries, (F.) Arteres scrotales ou vulvaires (Ch.), A. honteuses externes, which are two in number. The one is superficial or subcutaneous, and the other deepseated or subaponeurotic. They are given off from the femoral artery, or some one of its branches; and are distributed to the external parts of generation.
