The document summarizes the neurovasculature of the pelvis, including:
- The main arteries are the paired internal iliac arteries, paired ovarian/testicular arteries, unpaired median sacral artery, and paired superior rectal arteries.
- The veins follow the corresponding arteries and empty into the inferior vena cava.
- Nerves include the sacral and coccygeal plexuses which are somatic, and the pelvic part of the autonomic nervous system.
