This is a descriptive study to establish the pattern of variability in branching of the internal iliac artery (IIA) and to determine the origin of the uterine artery among Filipino female cadavers. 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.
