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 ...
adductor longus; adductor brevis; adductor magnus; The obturator externus muscle is sometimes considered part of this group, [1] [2] [3] and sometimes excluded. [4] (Spatially, it is in this location, but functionally, it is more similar to the other lateral rotator group muscles). The pectineus is sometimes included in this group, [1] [3] and ...
The pectineus is the only adductor muscle that is innervated by the femoral nerve. The other adductor muscles are innervated by the obturator nerve [1] with the exception of a small part of the adductor magnus which is innervated by the tibial nerve. [4]
Green is the medial compartment (gracilis and adductor magnus), blue is the posterior (semimembrosus to biceps c. brevis) and red is the anterior (vastus lateralis to sartorius). The fascial compartments of thigh are the three fascial compartments that divide and contain the thigh muscles .
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.
Adductor magnus : Its adductor part by posterior division of obturator nerve and hamstring part by tibial part of sciatic nerve. Biceps femoris: Its long head is supplied by the tibial part of sciatic nerve, whereas the short head is supplied by the common peroneal nerve. This reflects the composite derivation from the flexor and extensor ...
The obturator nerve also passes through the muscle which is responsible for the sensory innervation of the skin of the medial aspect of the thigh and motor innervation of the adductor muscles of the lower extremity (external obturator, adductor longus, adductor brevis, adductor magnus, gracilis) and sometimes the pectineus. Any of these ...
Magnus is a powerful adductor, especially active when crossing legs. Its superior part is a lateral rotator but the inferior part acts as a medial rotator on the flexed leg when rotated outward and also extends the hip joint. The adductor minimus is an incompletely separated subdivision of the adductor magnus. Its origin forms an anterior part ...
