Yu no bɔt di ‘Iliac Artery’ we de gi layf to wi leg?

Yu dɔn ɛva wɔnda aw yu leg ɛn hip dɛn kin gɛt blɔd, dat na layf? We wi de waka, rɔn, ɛn ivin jɔs tinap, na blɔd de kɛr di pawa ɛn ɔksijɛn we wi nid fɔ du ɔl dis. So, wan men sistεm de fכ di vessel dεm we de kכntinyu fכ gi blɔd to di lכw pat na wi bכdi. Wi go tɔk bɔt am tide. dεn kכl dεn tin ya di ‘Iliac Artery’ כ di pεlvik atεri insay mεdikal sayns.

Fɔ tɔk am simpul wan, wetin na dis ‘Iliac Artery’?

di ‘iliac artery’ na di men nεtwכk fכ di bכdi we de gi bכdi to di lכw pat pan wi bכdi, dat na di leg dεm, di hip dεm, di εria we de na di bכdi, εn di rεprכdaktiv sistεm. Tink bɔt di blɔd vesel we big pas ɔl na wi bɔdi, we na di aorta, we de bigin frɔm di at, lɛk di men paip we de kɔmɔt na big wata tank. we dis men paip rich na di bכdi, spεshal wan nia di nεvl, i de sheb to tu men branch dεm. na dεn tu branch dεm de we wi kכl di ‘iliac arteries’.

Dɛn wan ya de insay wan kategori we dɛn kɔl peripheral arteries . di wod ‘peripheral’ de tכk bכt di at dεm we de gi bכdi to di pat dεm na di bכdi we de fa sכmtεm frכm di at. So dis iliak atεri dεm implεnt fכ di hεlth fכ wi leg dεm.

Wetin na di men wok we dis vaskulכr sistεm de du?

as wan rili imכtant pat pan wi כl bכdi in sεkyulatri sistεm, sεvεra εria dεm de we di iliak at de fכs fכ gi bכdi.

• Di say dɛn we de dɔŋ: Dis kin inklud yu leg, yu fut, yu hip, yu bɔdi, ɛn yu shɔl. Dɛn blɔd vesel ya de gi di ɔksijɛn ɛn tin dɛn we yu mɔsul dɛn nid we yu de waka, rɔn, ɔ ɛksesaiz.
• di bכdi εn bak mכsul dεm: sכm pan di mכsul dεm na wi bכdi εn bak de gεt bכdi bak frכm di branch dεm na dis vaskulכr sistεm.
• di rεprכdaktiv sistεm: dεn ya de εp bak fכ gi di bכdi we nid fכ di hεlth fכ wok fכ di riprodaktiv sistεm fכ uman εn man.
• כda כgan dεm na di pεlvik εria: di iliak at de kכntribyut bak fכ gi bכdi to כgan dεm lεk wi blad, intestin, liva, εn pankrias.

Fɔ tɔk am simpul wan, di wɛlbɔdi fɔ wi bɔdi we de dɔŋ di wɛst de dipen ɔlmost pan di wɛlbɔdi fɔ dɛn iliak at dɛn ya.

aw di ‘iliac artery’ de branch na di bכdi

As wi bin se, di abdominal aorta de sheb to tu men branch dεm. dεn kכl dεn tin ya di rayt kכmכn iliak atεri εn di lεft kכmכn iliak atεri .

dis tu kכmכn iliak atεri dεm, we de travul lεk wan inch dכn, εvri wan de sheb to tu mכr big branch dεm. Jɔs lɛk aw big branch we kɔmɔt na tik trɔnk kin sheb to tu smɔl smɔl branch dɛn. Dɛn tu branch ya na:

1. Ɛksternal Iliak Atɛri

2. Intanɛt Iliak Atɛri

Ɛni wan pan dɛn at ya kin sheb to smɔl smɔl branch dɛn we kin kɛr blɔd go na di ɔgan ɛn mɔsul dɛn we gɛt fɔ du wit am. Lɛ wi luk dis smɔl mɔ.

Wetin na di sik dɛm wae kin afɛkt di iliak at?

Lɛk ɔda blɔd vesel dɛn na wi bɔdi, difrɛn kayn tin dɛn kin afɛkt di iliak at. Sɔm pan dɛn tin ya kin rili bɔku, ɛn ɔda wan dɛn nɔ kin bɔku.

• Atɛrosklɛrosis: .Dis na di prɔblɛm we bɔku pipul dɛn kin gɛt. Fɔ tɔk am simpul wan, di wɔl dɛn na di blɔd vesel dɛn kin ful-ɔp wit fat, kɔlɔstrel, ɛn ɔda tin dɛn (we dɛn kɔl plek), we kin mek di at dɛn smɔl ɛn at. I tan lɛk se rɔst de bɔku insay wata paip, we de blok di blɔd we de flɔ.

• Pεrifεral Atεri Disεs (PAD): Atεrosklεrosis na di iliak atεri dεm de rεdכks bכdi saplai to di lεg εn fut dεm. Di men sayn na we yu de fil bad bad wan na yu leg, mɔ na di say we yu de waka fɔ shɔt tɛm . Dis pen kin stɔp afta yu dɔn rɛst fɔ shɔt tɛm. If dɛn nɔ trit dis sik, i kin mek i gɛt strok, at atak, ɛn sɔntɛnde, i kin ivin kɔt in leg .

• Iliac artery stenosis: pan sɔm pipul dεm, di wכl dεm na di iliac arteries kin stif εn sכmtεm bikoz fכ wan kכndyushכn we nכ kin apin we dεn kכl Fibromuscular Dysplasia (FMD). dis atεri dεm kin rכp (dissection) כ wik εn bulge (aneurysms).

• May-Thurner syndrome: Dis na sik bak we nɔ kin apin so ɔltɛm. insay dis kכndishכn, di kכmכn iliak atεri na di rayt say εn di kכmכn iliak vein na di lεft sayd (wan vεsεl we de kכri bכdi bak to di at) de kכmprεs agens di spayna. dis prεshכn de mek i at fכ mek bכdi fכ fכlכ tru di vein dεm na di lεft leg, we de mek di blכd kכlכt bכku (Deep Vein Thrombosis - DVT) .

So aw wi go protɛkt dɛn impɔtant blɔd vesel dɛn ya?
