The injection method was used to study the course and division of ileocolic artery in 67 human fetuses of the crown-rump length of 127 to 285 mm (15 to 28 weeks of fetal age). A significant variability was demonstrated in the number, diameter and the branching site of the ileocolic artery. On the basis of the thus adopted criteria, classification types of the studied artery were established.
