A total of 37 body halves dissected by the First Year Gross Anatomy students of the UP College of Medicine in a span of 5 academic years were included in this survey. Results showed that the IIA is definitely a highly variable arterial system. The parietal branches of the anterior division contribute most of these variations whereas the visceral branches, including the uterine artery, are fairly constant in their origins.  aActa Medica Philippina,1997 33 ( 3 ) pages  171-174  aInternal Iliac
