Answer: Q1) Which artery is a direct branch of the aorta? a) Inferior vesical b) Internal iliac c) Ovarian d) Uterian e) Vaginal Correct Answer: c) Ovarian. The ovarian artery is a branch of the aorta. It arises anterolaterally just below the renal artery, running retroperitoneally to leave the abdomen by crossing the common or external iliac artery in the infundibulopelvic fold. It crosses corresponding ureters and supplies twigs to it but does not supply to abdominal organs. The internal iliac artery arises from the common iliac and its inferior branch further supplies to the pelvis.
