The adductor minimus originates on the pelvis at the inferior ramus of the pubis as the anterior-most part of the adductor magnus. It is inserted on the back of the femur at the medial lip of the linea aspera and thus crosses the proximal part of the true adductor magnus.
Adductor brevis; Adductor longus; Adductor magnus; Adductor minimus This is often considered to be a part of adductor magnus. pectineus; gracilis; Obturator externus [1] is also part of the medial compartment of thigh; The adductors originate on the pubis and ischium bones and insert mainly on the medial posterior surface of the femur.
The adductor magnus is a large triangular muscle, situated on the medial side of the thigh.. It consists of two parts. The portion which arises from the ischiopubic ramus (a small part of the inferior ramus of the pubis, and the inferior ramus of the ischium) is called the pubofemoral portion, adductor portion, or adductor minimus, and the portion arising from the tuberosity of the ischium is ...
The medial compartment of thigh is one of the fascial compartments of the thigh and contains the hip adductor muscles and the gracilis muscle. The obturator nerve is the primary nerve supplying this compartment. The obturator artery is the blood supply to the medial thigh. The muscles in the compartment are: gracilis; adductor longus; adductor ...
The gluteal muscles include the gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, gluteus minimus, and tensor fasciae latae.They cover the lateral surface of the ilium.The gluteus maximus, which forms most of the muscle of the buttocks, originates primarily on the ilium and sacrum and inserts on the gluteal tuberosity of the femur as well as the iliotibial tract, a tract of strong fibrous tissue that runs ...
Adductor minimus muscle; Tensor fasciae suralis muscle; Gluteoperinealis muscle; Gluteus quartus muscle; Popliteus biceps muscle; Fibularis (peroneus) quartus muscle;
Superior rectus muscle; Inferior rectus muscle; Medial rectus muscle; jaw (muscles of mastication, the closing of the jaw is adduction): masseter; pterygoid muscles (lateral and medial) temporalis; vocal folds. Lateral cricoarytenoid muscle
The muscles of the thigh can be classified into three groups according to their location: anterior and posterior muscles and the adductors (on the medial side). All the adductors except gracilis insert on the femur and act on the hip joint, and so functionally qualify as hip muscles.
