The adductor longus arises from the body of pubis inferior to pubic crest and lateral to pubic symphysis. [1] It lies ventrally on the adductor magnus, and near the femur, the adductor brevis is interposed between these two muscles. Distally, the fibers of the adductor longus extend into the adductor canal. [1]
A pulled groin muscle usually refers to a painful strain of the hip adductor muscles. [6] This type of injury is related to risk factors including overuse and previous injury. [7] [8] [9] An inguinal hernia is a hernia of the groin and can be either a direct hernia, or an indirect hernia according to its particular
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 tubercle is a tubercle on the lower extremity of the femur. It is formed where the medial lips of the linea aspera end below at the summit of the medial condyle. It is the insertion point of the tendon of the vertical fibers of the adductor magnus muscle. [1] [2]
Location The location of the muscle in a standard human body. The location first specifies a group such as head, neck, torso, upper limbs, or lower limbs, then may have more specific information. However this additional information must be describing location not function. Origin
The femoral triangle is bounded: [2] superiorly (also known as the base) by the inguinal ligament. [2]medially by the medial border of the adductor longus muscle. (Some people consider the femoral triangle to be smaller hence the medial border being at the lateral border of the adductor longus muscle.) [2]
In anatomy, the thigh is the area between the hip and the knee.Anatomically, it is part of the lower limb. [1]The single bone in the thigh is called the femur.This bone is very thick and strong (due to the high proportion of bone tissue), and forms a ball and socket joint at the hip, and a modified hinge joint at the knee.
