- From Internal Iliac Artery
- Lies anterior to the Inferior Gluteal Artery
- Pierces Parietal Pelvic Fascia
- Passes out of pelvis through Greater Sciatic Foramen below Piriformis
- Gives off the Inferior Rectal Artery as it travels in the posterior aspect of the Pudendal Canal
- Enters Deep Perineal Pouch from anterior end of Pudendal Canal
- Passes forwards along Ischiopubic Ramus above Perineal Membrane
- Dorsal Nerve of Penis above and Perineal Nerve below
- Perineal Branch:
- Pierces the posterior angle of the Perineal Membrane
- Gives origin to the Posterior Scrotal and Transverse Perineal Branches
- Artery to the Bulb:
- Pierces membrane alongside Urethra to enter Corpus Spongiosum
- Gives branches to the cavernous tissue
- Passes forwards to supply the Glans Penis
- Divides into terminal branches: Deep Artery of the Penis and Dorsal Artery of the Penis
- Deep Artery of the Penis:
- Pierces the membrane to enter the Crus of the Penis
- Supplies via its helicine branches the erectile cavernous tissue of Corpus Cavernosum
- Dorsal Artery of the Penis:
- Pieces the membrane and passes between the Crus and the Pubic Symphysis to pierce the Suspensory Ligament
- Runs forward alongside the Medial Deep Dorsal Vein with the Dorsal Nerves laterally, between the Deep Fascia of the Penis and the Fibrous Sheaths of the Corpora Cavernosa
- Both arteries pass to the Glans – anastomose with the terminal branches of the Arteries to the Bulb
