Adductor portionThose fibers which arise from the ramus of the pubis are short, horizontal in direction, and are inserted into the rough line of the femur leading from thegreater trochanter to the linea aspera, medial to the gluteus maximus.

Those fibers from the ramus of the ischium are directed downward and laterally with different degrees of obliquity, to be inserted, by means of a broadaponeurosis, into the linea aspera and the upper part of its medial prolongation below.

Hamstring portionThe medial portion of the muscle, composed principally of the fibers arising from the tuberosity of the ischium, forms a thick fleshy mass consisting of coarse bundles which descend almost vertically, and end about the lower third of the thigh in a rounded tendon which is inserted into the adductor tubercle on the medial condyle of the femur
