Adduction means to move a body part towards your body's central axis. When adducting an upper limb, which is defined as the area between your deltoid and your hand and including the arm, axilla, and shoulder, the following muscles are used: trapezius, pectoralis minor, rhomboideus, latissimus dorsi, coracobrachialis, flexor carpi, and extensor carpi ulnaris.
Two joint muscles in the upper limb is the wrist and the elbow. Two joint muscles in the lower limb is the ankle and the knee.
All the muscles of the upper limb
The sideways movement of a limb is called abduction or adduction. Abduction is moving a limb away from the body's midline, while adduction is bringing a limb closer to the body's midline.

The flexor carpi ulnaris muscle is an upper limb muscle that has double innervation from both the ulnar and medial nerves.
In my research. Abduction, in functional anatomy, is a movement which draws a limb away from the median (Sagittal) plane of the body. It is thus opposed to adduction.
The upper limb functions in various activities such as lifting, grasping, and manipulating objects. It also plays a crucial role in activities like writing, typing, and gesturing. Additionally, the upper limb is involved in providing support and stability for the body during tasks like pushing, pulling, or carrying items.
The proximal limb muscles control functions and movements such as lifting, pushing, pulling, and stabilizing the body. These muscles are responsible for movements involving the shoulder, upper arm, and hip joints.
Activities that rely specifically on upper limb muscles include rock climbing, swimming, and playing tennis. In rock climbing, the upper limb muscles, particularly the biceps and forearm muscles, enable gripping and pulling oneself up. Swimming relies on shoulder and back muscles for powerful strokes and efficient propulsion through the water. Tennis involves the use of shoulder, arm, and wrist muscles to generate forceful serves and precise shots, allowing for quick and agile movements.

The radial nerve supplies the muscles of the arm and forearm and and is also the sensory nerve for the upper limb. It therefore helps in the movement of the upper limb and is also partly responsible for sensory feeling in part of the arm, forearm and hand.
Coracoid Process. The coracoid process points anteriorly over the tip of the shoulder joint and serves as an attachment point for some of the upper limb muscles.
