If a quiz question asked "What is the name of the artery found at the end of the aorta?" what would the answer be? I think it might be iliac, but I'm not sure.

The ascending aorta, turns into the transverse aorta, and then into the descending aorta which bifurcates (splits) into the common iliacs when it reaches the pelvis.

The aorta is sited in the thorax. It is divided into the ascending, the arch and the descending parts.The descending part transverses the abdominal hiatus to become the abdominal aorta which divides at the level of the iliac crests into the two iliac arteries .Though the abdominal aorta is usually discussed separately from the thoracic portions.It is safe to regard the iliac artery as the vessel found at the end of the entire length of the aorta.
