If you are referring to the adductor muscles of the thigh, they are all located medially on the femur and include adductor magnus, adductor longus and adductor brevis. Each muscle originates on either the pubic body or part of the inferior pubic ramus and runs to part of the femoral linea aspera. All of these muscle adduct the thigh.

What muscle starts with the letter A?
The antitragicus muscle is in the ear. The arytenoid muscle moves vocal cords.
What is prime mover for a hip?
a prime mover is the main muscle that causes movement. In the case of the hip flexion, the prime mover would be the rectus femoris or the ilopsoas
What is the antagonist in shoulder extension?
The adductor longus is a prime adductor and medial rotator of the femur. It is also an assistant mover for flexion at the hip. Therefore the antagonist muscles are the abductors (apposing adduction), the lateral rotators (apposing medial rotation) and the extensors (apposing flexion). Primary Abductors: Gluteus Medius and Gluteus Minimus Assistant Abductors: Tensor Fasciae Latter, Sartorius Primary Lateral Rotators: Glutteus Maximus, Deep Later Rotator group Assistant Lateral Rotators: Sartorius, Iliopsoas Primary Extensors: Hamstrings, Gluteus Maximus Assistant Extensors: Adductor Magnus (upper fibres)
What Muscles attach to the pelvic girdle?
Gluteal muscles cover the lateral surfaces of the ilia . The gluteus maximus muscle is the largest and most posterior of the gluteal muscles. Its origin includes parts of the ilium; the sacrum, coccyx, and associated ligaments; and the lumbodorsal fascia. Acting alone, this massive muscle produces extension and lateral rotation at the hip joint. The gluteus maximus shares an insertion with the tensor fasciae latae muscle, which originates on the iliac crest and the anterior superior iliac spine. Together these muscles pull on the iliotibialtract, a band of collagen fibers that extends along the lateral surface of the thigh and inserts on the tibia. This tract provides a lateral brace for the knee that becomes particularly important when you balance on one foot. The gluteus mediusand gluteus minimus muscles originate anterior to the origin of the gluteus maximus muscle and insert on the greater trochanter of the femur. The anterior gluteal line on the lateral surface of the ilium marks the boundary between these muscles. The lateral rotators originate at or inferior to the horizontal axis of the acetabulum. There are six lateral rotator muscles in all, of which the piriformis muscle and the obturator muscles are dominant . The adductors originate inferior to the horizontal axis of the acetabulum. This muscle group includes the adductor magnus, adductor brevis, adductor longus, pectineus, and gracilis muscles. All but the adductor magnus originate both anterior and inferior to the joint, so they perform hip flexion as well as adduction. The adductor magnus muscle can produce either adduction and flexion or adduction and extension, depending on the region stimulated. The adductor magnus muscle may also produce medial or lateral rotation at the hip. The other muscles produce medial rotation. These muscles insert on low ridges along the posterior surface of the femur. When an athlete suffers a pulled groin, the problem is a strain--a muscle tear or break--in one of these adductor muscles. The medial surface of the pelvis is dominated by a pair of muscles. The large psoas major muscle originates alongside the inferior thoracic and lumbar vertebrae, and its insertion lies on the lesser trochanter of the femur. Before reaching this insertion, its tendon merges with that of the iliacus muscle, which nestles within the iliac fossa. These two muscles are powerful hip flexors and are often referred to collectively as the iliopsoas muscle. medical student: Dr.Fofo
What is Antagonist to the psoas?
It depends in which function. Femur flexion: Gluteus maximus, Hamstrings, Sartorius and parts of Adductor magnus. Adduction: Gluteus medius and minimus, Tensor Fascia latae, Sartorius, Piriformis. Flexion of the lumbar spine: Quadratus lumborum and Erector Spinae.
Where is the poplitery located?
The popliteal artery branches off from the femoral artery. It is located in the knee and the back of the leg. Its courses near the adductor canal and the adductor hiatus, distinctive open areas inside the thigh
How many adductor muscles are there?
There is the adductor magnus, adductor brevis, adductor longus and gracilis, so there are at least 4.
What are the muscles that keep the clam shut?
the adductor muscle.
What is the prime mover for hip adduction?
The adductor muscles of the hip are four in number: the adductor brevis, the adductor longus, the adductor magnus and the adductor minimus. All the hip adductors originate from the pubis and insert at the medial side of the femur.
Where are the palp's found on the clam?
the palps are located anterior to the gills and ventral to the anterior adductor muscle.
Adductor magnus adductor longus and adductor brevis are parts of a large muscle mass of what?
medial compartment of the thigh
What group of thigh muscles that flex the thigh?
gracilis , adductor longus , adductor brevis and upper part of adductor magnus
What is the function of the adductors?
The main function of the adductor muscles is to propel the legs towards the midline of the body. The four groups of adductor muscles are adductor longus, adductor brevis, adductor Magnus and gracilis.
What do the muscles on the medial side of the femur do?
You and adductor compartment on the medial side of the femur. The main muscles are adductor magnus, adductor longus and adductor brevis. These muscles adduct the thigh. They are very important muscles for horse rider.
What is the function of Adductor longus?
The Adductor longus adducts the femur. That means to move the limb closer to the body.
Muscle group that allows you to draw your legs to midline?
Adductor muscles allow the bringing of the leg toward the midline of the body. In contrast, abductor muscles allow limbs to be drawn outward away from the body.
What muscle abduct the thigh to take the stance?
Your Hamstream and your Guadriceps.
