What is the main action of the medial thigh muscles?

What is a pair of muscles that abduct and adduct called?
Abduction and addiction are two opposite functions, involving movement away from the centre line of the body, and towards the centre line of the body, respectively. When two muscles perform these two opposite functions, and are dependent on each other, they are called an antagonistic pair. This also applies to muscles that flex and extend.
The muscles that are found at openings of the body are collectively called?
Sphincters (circular muscles)
What is moving the leg towards the body?

What are Muscle that brings bones together?
Muscles that bring bones together are primarily known as adductor muscles. These muscles function to pull limbs or other body parts closer to the midline of the body. For example, the adductor muscles of the thigh help bring the legs together. Additionally, the muscles around joints, such as the pectorals and latissimus dorsi in the upper body, can also assist in this action by stabilizing and moving bones closer together.
