assistant
The correct answer is  The blood supply to the uterine corpus arises from the ascending branch of the uterine aery and from the medial or uterine branch of the ovarian aery. The uterine aery may originate directly from the internal iliac aery as an independent branch or it may have a common origin with the internal pudendal or with the vaginal aery.
